Hi @liangbing64 ,

the windowing system has been moved from the VM to a normal pharo library in Pharo9. This is probably a side effect of that move. In the past weeks I've started playing with IME support too, there is an ongoing discussion on discord, I invite you to take a look and comment in here: https://discord.com/channels/223421264751099906/582493455574499348/821013293215907904

I use OpenSmalltalk Pharo VM（stable）to run Pharo 9 and 10，the result is Chinese input prompter can display and work , but backspace key doesnot work.

Is there any new progress on this issue? I have the same problem with Pharo90 and Pharo100.

IME support is still work in progress in: https://github.com/tomooda/PharoIM I know @tomooda has done some progress on that front. You can help checking the code there, testing it, or improving it.

I tried GlamorousToolkit ( https://gtoolkit.com/ ), It runs on Pharo90 , but it has its own VM. Chinese input can work well on it.

Pharo 10 on macOS here, chinese input method basically works after following instructions at https://github.com/pharo-open-documentation/pharo-wiki/pull/328

  1. The word candidate panel doesn’t follow the input caret, the panel is out of Pharo window.
  2. Pharo always accepts only first character no matter the input method gives any phrase.

@Dieken Have you tried https://github.com/tomooda/PharoIM/ on Pharo 10?

Hi tomo Would it make sense to have this code merged in Pharo?

Dieken commented 2 years ago

@Dieken Have you tried https://github.com/tomooda/PharoIM/ on Pharo 10?

Just tried Pharo 10 + PharoIM on macOS 12.3.1, it works much better, the issue 2 is gone, good job!

But the issue 1 is still there:

a. Open Pharo -> Playground, activate input method the first time, the candidate panel covers the caret, it should sit below or above the input caret as the second screenshot.

b. deactivate and then activate the input method again, it seems the candidate panel loses the position of caret.

Looking forward to the merge of PharoIM into Pharo, well done! @tomooda

Another issue on PharoIM, it doesn't support emoji, for example，with macOS Pinyin input method, when I type "hh" which means laughing "haha"，the candidate panel shows "😄"，then I select this candidate, PharoIM gives "h h" into Pharo playground, not the emoji character.

If I use the macOS Show emoji & symbols in mac input method menu to input emoji with Character Viewer dialog, the emoji can be inserted correctly into Pharo playground although it's garbled due to font.

@Dieken Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I recognize we need some adjustments to the candidates' window. I'll work on that. The issue with Emoji is interesting. Can you copy the "hh" emoji in another App (e.g. TextEdit) and evaluate "Clipboard clipboardText asArray collect: #codePoint" in the Playground? @Ducasse Yes, it'll make great benefits to CJK users, but PharoIM is sensitive to the version of SDL2 libs. @guillep and I investigated and found a problem with Linux installation at the time (https://github.com/tomooda/PharoIM/issues/11). I'll check it on the latest dev versions, probably the next Monday.

Thanks! That's helpful. 😄

The emoji (and pinyin IM) now works fine with PharoIM. https://github.com/tomooda/PharoIM/issues/17#issuecomment-1150637988

tomooda commented 2 years ago

@Ducasse I'd be happy if PharoIM would be merged into Pharo. I tested PharoIM with Pharo 10/11 on mac/windows/linux. It works just as intended on Mac, works somehow ok on Windows, and works poorly on Linux but is still better than without PharoIM. I don't think PharoIM harms any non-multibyte inputs.

Ducasse commented 2 years ago

Excellent can you send a PR?

tinchodias commented 2 years ago

Hi, I wasn't aware of this issue (I should had search :P), but wanted to see why emojis didn't appear in Pharo 11. I debugged it down to FreeType bindings. In a ubuntu 22.04 (but I think in any the ttf file is discarded during the process that loads fonts from the file system (when I do FreeTypeFontProvider initialize).
