Source: libkmfl
Section: libs
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Doug Rintoul <doug_rintoul@sil.org>
Uploaders: Daniel Glassey <wdg@debian.org>
Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.27-1), debhelper (>= 4.1.0), libkmflcomp-dev (>= 0.9.4-1)
Standards-Version: 3.6.2
Package: libkmfl-dev
Section: libdevel
Architecture: any
Depends: libkmfl0 (= ${Source-Version})
Description: A Library for providing Keyman(C) services to Linux - development
KMFL stands for 'Keyboard Mapping For Linux'. It is effectively a 'soft' input
method for X11 systems. KMFL is based on an intuitive keyboard description
language that works well for the great majority of non-ideographic scripts.
KMFL allows complex keyboard 'mappings' or 'layouts' to be defined in a
natural, declarative way using a high-level language. It does not require a
programming background in order to implement new layouts. It enforces
well-formedness, and provides helpful visual feedback to the user as they type.
.
Although complex script rendering takes care of many of the complexities of a
non-roman script, it is important to be able to generate and edit well-formed
Unicode sequences of base and diacritic characters using the keyboard. It is
also important to enforce well-formedness at the keyboard level. KMFL is able
to do this by examining the surrounding characters (known as the context) when
text is inserted or changed. Through this context-sensitivity, KMFL is also
able to provide progressive visual feedback to the user when multi-key
sequences are being entered, which is much more reassuring than when
'invisible' dead-key sequences are used. KMFL is also able to do in place
editing to handle character reordering based on the surrounding context.
.
KMFL is based on a commercial product for Windows called Keyman from
Tavultesoft. Keyman is a mature and successful product, and the definition
language has been refined and strengthened over a long period of time in
response to field needs. Tavultesoft was instrumental in the development of
KMFL. Tavultesoft developed the platform-independent library, and SIL
implemented the SCIM module. The result was KMFL, which is 100% compatible
with Keyman at the keyboard definition source level.
.
A good explanation of the benefits and use of Keyman is available at
http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/intro.php.
.
KMFL is implemented as a platform-independent library together with an
IM-framework specific module. KMFL currently includes a SCIM (Smart Common
Input Method) module that passes the mapping work on to KMFL.
.
There are currently a large number of keyboards available for Keyman for
languages such as Tamil, Burmese, Lao, and Tlingit. KMFL allows these
keyboards to be used under Linux.
.
This package contains the header and development files needed to build
programs and packages using libkmfl.
