- User customization file
-
- You can customize uim settings by two alternative ways.
-
- - by uim-pref GUI
- - create the file ~/.uim and write configuration forms by hand
-
- This file describes the latter way.
-
-
- * Precedence of settings
-
- - The ~/.uim overrides the settings configured by uim-pref. Remove
- conflicting setting from ~/.uim if you prefer setting by GUI
-
- - If ~/.uim does not exist, ${datadir}/uim/default.scm will be
- loaded as default. Since the default.scm is never modified by
- uim, system integrator can modify it as they want.
-
-
- * Special settings that cannot be configured in ~/.uim
-
- Overriding following variables in ~/.uim does not take
- effect. Configure them in uim-pref or edit installed-modules.scm
- directly.
-
- enable-lazy-loading?
- enabled-im-list
- installed-im-module-list
-
-
- * Overriding lazy-loaded settings
-
- The lazy-loading feature introduced in uim 0.4.6 has caused the
- problem that the entity to be overridden is not loaded at loading
- ~/.uim.
-
- For example, following configuration causes the error because
- japanese.scm is not loaded at loading ~/.uim.
-
- (set! ja-rk-rule-basic (cons '(((" ") . ()) (" " " " " "))
- ja-rk-rule-basic))
-
- To resolve it, require the file explicitly.
-
- (require "japanese.scm")
-
- (set! ja-rk-rule-basic (cons '(((" ") . ()) (" " " " " "))
- ja-rk-rule-basic))
-
-
- If you need whole part of an input method, use 'require-module'
- instead of ordinary 'require'. This is required for internal IM
- management.
-
- wrong:
-
- (require "pyload.scm")
- (require "viqr.scm")
- (require "anthy.scm")
- (load-plugin "anthy")
-
- correct:
-
- (require-module "pyload")
- (require-module "viqr")
- (require-module "anthy")
-
-
- * Configuring key bindings
-
- To configure key bindings in ~/.uim, write 'define-key' forms. See
- also doc/KEY for further information
-
- Be careful about following two issues.
-
- - Corresponding input method must be loaded by 'require-module'
- before define-key. This implies that define-key described in
- ~/.uim disables lazy-loading for the input method.
-
- (require-module "skk")
- (define-key skk-cancel-key? "<Control>[")
-
- - Meaning of the key expression such as "<Control>a" differs
- between define-key and uim-pref.
-
- "<Control>a" is interpreted as case sensitive and shift
- insensitive by define-key. But uim-pref recognizes it as case
- insensitive and shift sensitive. The different rule of uim-pref
- is introduced to unify "<Control>a" and "<Control>A" regardless
- of caps lock status.
