Classification[edit]

Does GTK+-2 based mean that the IME acts as a GTK input method module? Or whether it presents a GTK interface?

Also, is "multiple implementations" needed? Or should we organize this as a big table? For example, im-ja acts as both a gtk-immodule and an XIM, and kinput2 acts as both an XIM and using its own "kinput2" protocol, so theoretically we should move them both to "multiple implementations". Or we can use a table to show which implementatins.—Gniw (Wing) 19:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Aww, you're making my head hurt. Perhaps we could just include them under all the categories they apply to. And I meant that they acted as GTK input modules, yes... Rōnin 19:36, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understood what you meant now, and I tried to make a table. It's not sorted by language, but instead alphabetized. Perhaps we should change that. Anyway, I hope this is what you meant. Rōnin 17:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I sorted it after all. Rōnin 17:52, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why only UNIX?[edit]

Why does this article only cover UNIX input methods? I think it would be better to cover all platforms. You could use separate articles, but that just screams "maintainance hell", especially since I've heard of cross-platform IME's. Shinobu 14:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yea I would support a move to something like List of input method implementations. That way we can include stuff like Google Pinyin.--Voidvector (talk) 19:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also favour a page on List of input methods (or List of input method implementations). I will probably start such a page in the near future. --ChristopheS (talk) 12:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

License and Features?[edit]

I think it would be nice to add the license used (GPL, Commercial, ...) and some features (Handwriting recognition?) to the table. 77.234.34.134 (talk) 13:31, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficient context?[edit]

What's really necessary? There's already a link to the Input_method_editor page; it seems like the matter of addressing what an input method is should go there. I've added a brief sentence defining an input method, but I've left the notice up for now. Calavicci (talk) 06:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

XIM[edit]

I don't understand why XIM is not included in this list. lifeform (talk) 07:08, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
