I thought there would be a shortcut, but haven't found it. What I do is to go to "Visualization plugins" in xmms (Ctrl-V), then enable the xmms-singit plugin, and then use the "Configure" button to open its configuration dialog. Then you go to "Dialogs" tab, then "Show lyrics editor...", and then you can type, load, edit lyrics, edit time tags, etc. Once you have a song with time tags, and if it is in the directory xmms-singit expects (which you can configure), next time, when xmms is about to play that song, it will open the "karaoke displayer" and will follow the song. I also think this "explanation for first time users" is missing from the documentation. I took me a bit of time to figure out. > However, I do know that kinput2 is > obsolete, and should basically not be used for inputting Japanese. > Better to use uim/anthy or scim/anthy.

I always used kinput2 (until last month in fact, when I did the last major upgrade to my sid laptop) without problem. I don't have UTF-8 locales installed, maybe I should try. It would be so cool to sing along Japanese lyrics :-) Victor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
