Category: 66. Aqua Window Operations Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Adrian Robert (arobert3434) Assigned to: Daniel A. Steffen (das) Summary: Tk does not handle input-manager input on Mac OS X Initial Comment: OS X allows the user to enter accented and CJK characters through system-provided input methods, similarly to IME on Windows and XIM on X11. While the latter two are supported in Tk, the former is not. Currently on the Carbon Tk implementation there is limited support for entering accented characters, however the "working" text (usually an underlined form of the accent component itself) is not shown. The Cocoa version does not even support this, and neither supports CJK entry at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Daniel A. Steffen (das) Date: 2011-03-11 09:10 Message: I was well aware of this limitation when I wrote the NSEvent keyboard input code. Integrating the key-level tk input subsystem with the general higher level Cocoa full multi-character unicode input method layer (with in place temporary input etc) is a very difficult problem that I still don't know how to solve. I wouldn't expect a solution anytime soon, whatever the priority is set to... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Torsten Berg (treincke) Date: 2011-03-11 04:41 Message: Yeah, ok, the reason for submitting was the crash, but the fix is just preventing the crash. It does not allow to enter accented characters still. So, the two items are related but it is perhaps really best to reopen the issue as such with a new bug here. And the priority should be 9, IMO. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adrian Robert (arobert3434) Date: 2011-03-10 12:14 Message: No, this is different from 2907388. That bug reported a crash when trying to enter a latin accented character, and apparently stopping the crash was considered sufficient to close the bug. This report is about the fact that users cannot use their system input methods to enter text (accented characters, CJK, etc.) in Tk applications on OS X. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Torsten Berg (treincke) Date: 2011-03-10 11:36 Message: This is the same as bug 2907388, right? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112997&aid=3205153&group_id=12997 |
