Hi all,

KOffice has gotten a good name in supporting many non-latin writings and=20
rules. So, naturally, we had to have support for entering of text in=20
another manner than just the keys that are on your keyboard.
most recognizable of these is the compose.  This is how you type a =DF or =
=E5=20
using 'ss' or 'oa'.

SInce today KOffice and Flake is again capable of inputting these=20
characters, in most apps, no need for you to do anything :)
I adjusted all canvasses[1] to listen to and forward the relevant events=20
and I made the KoTool implementation to process the keys.  So even all=20
existing tools should work just fine with this now.[2]

footnotes;
1) I skipped adjusting KSPread.  The app still does all its input event=20
processing in the canvas instead of forwarding it to a tool. Which means=20
whatever I type it goes to kspread, not flake.
The solution I think it should aim for is that all input in the canvas is=20
routed to the kspread-tool (which inherits from KoTool) which then uses=20
those to alter the kspread-internals.  This way the text entry will work=20
in all apps.

2) I have been unable to use any more advanced input method=20
than 'compose'. I have skim setup fine and it works in kword1.x. But not=20
in any Qt4 app. Not sure what the problem is, but I suspect we need to=20
patch Qt somehow like the distros did for Qt3.
Anyway; I have some code in the TextTool to provide better support for=20
intermediate text-renderings, but I can't test it :(
