Well, I gave it a try and I can't get it to work.  I think jEdit is 
consuming my input method switch hotkey.  But looking at the API, I see 
that a custom text editing component must explicitly provide support for 
Java input methods... so it's back to the question of whether jEdit 
supports it or not.
