• plugin/ - The plugin
• example/ - Qt GUI test app

Installation

The following build instructions will install this input module to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/.

cmake -Bbuild .
make -Cbuild -j4
sudo make install

After installation, simply run any Qt5 program with the QT_IM_MODULE environment variable:

QT_IM_MODULE=him ./some_qt_app

Development

example/ contains a simple Qt GUI with input boxes. It uses some CMake and Qt magic to load the plugin from build/qt/ in an isolated manner, allowing debugging (ignoring the system-wide installed Qt input module).

cmake -Bbuild -DBUILD_EXAMPLE=1 . 
make -Cbuild -j4

Produces build/bin/example which uses the input module from the CMake build directory.
