A selection menu can be closed by pressing the Enter key.<br />

After an input method is selected from the input method selection menu (see<br />

Figure 53 on page 264), it can be used in the same way as in its associated<br />

locale. The label at the left edge of the input method status bar describes the<br />

locale for the currently selected input method. For example, if the Simplified<br />

Chinese input method is selected from the selection menu, the CN_ZH label is<br />

displayed in the status area. Any status information specific to the current input<br />

method is displayed immediately to the right of this label. Of course, if you want to<br />

switch the input method, the related locale has to be installed on the system.<br />

Most input methods require a locale-specific keyboard mapping to support certain<br />

input sequences. In the X environment, the keyboard can be remapped by<br />

invoking the xmodmap command with the keyboard files under the<br />

/usr/lpp/X11/defaults/xmodmap directory. For example, the following command<br />

remaps the keyboard so as to support the Chinese input method:<br />

# xmodmap /usr/lpp/X11/defaults/xmodmap/CN_ZH/keyboard<br />

Note that the keyboard mappings assume an associated physical keyboard.<br />

Figure 53. UNIVERSAL Input Method: Switching<br />

By default, the Ctrl+Alt+l key combination invokes the menu of character lists<br />

(Figure 54 on page 265). After a list is selected from this menu, characters can be<br />

input by selecting them from the list with the mouse. The characters will initially<br />

be inserted in the input method pre-edit area. The characters can be committed by<br />

pressing the Enter key.<br />
