Hello!
Some time ago I wrote for inferno an analog of kbmap with an extention -
a possibility to print complex symbols via sequences of more basic
symbols.
I use it for typing by the russian translit.
Here is a piece of file for my kbmap:
<------------cut --------------->
1 45 0
1 46 'Ц
1 47 'В
1 48 'Б
1 49 'Н
1 50 'М
C цх 'ч
C Цх 'Ч
C сх 'ш
C Сх 'Ш
C сцх 'щ
C Сцх 'Щ
<------------cut--------------->
The latin symbols are mapped to russian when it is possible. Other russian
symbols are presented via sequences of mapped symbols, e.g. russian
symbol 'Ч' [ch] is presented like an sequence of 'ц' [c] и 'х' [h].
A sequence can be broken by pressing any non-symbol key.
There is at least one big disadvantage of this method - the input focus
can be changed, e.g. by mouse. In inferno I didn't resolve this problem,
because /dev/pointer can be opened only once.
Maybe it makes a sence to make something like this in Plan9 (an analog
kbmap) for typing complex symbols like an hieroglyph ?

HI..everyone:
Is there some ways to input Simplified Chinese in plan 9 ? I
know plan 9 supports Unicode, so it is no questions for plan 9 to
display Simplified Chinese....... and i have seen some pictures on
Internet to prove it...so i have a question like that above...
I'm looking forward for the answer........... Thanks first......!!!!
the only way to input simplified chinese currently
is to use the general codepoint input method.
<compose> 'x' + four hex digits. on a pc compose =
<alt>. that's probablly not what you're looking for.
i am not aware that anyone has written an input
method specificly for simplified chinese.
