Dasom is a multilingual input method framework.

## Installation

Install the dasom-gitAUR package.

Additionally, you might want to install input method modules packages such as dasom-gtk-gitAUR for GTK+, dasom-qt-gitAUR for Qt applications.

### Input method engines

- dasom-jeongeum-gitAUR, for typing Korean hangul, based on libhangul.

### Initial setup

Add the following lines to your desktop start up script files to register the input method modules and support xim programs.

- Use `.xprofile` if you are using KDM, GDM, LightDM or SDDM.
- Use `.xinitrc` if you are using startx or Slim.

    export GTK_IM_MODULE=dasom
    export QT_IM_MODULE=dasom
    export XMODIFIERS="@im=dasom"
    dasom-daemon
    dasom-indicator

Re-login to make these environment changes effective.

Note: If you are using GNOME, you may need to run the following commands to use dasom:

    $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false
    $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/IMModule':<'dasom'>}"
