Pros:

Cons:
  • Does not coexist with the system's default virtual keyboard
  • No portrait mode support (unexpected, as there was a very nice T9 UI before)
  • Does not work for browser textboxes (as documented)

Suggestions:
  • Don't show the desktop background
  • Display in a standard dialog (like the symbol keyboard)

Offtopic: I really hope we'll be able to input Chinese characters using the hardware keyboard without breaking anything (which mscim certainly does). Is it possible to make a hildon-input-plugin like that?
I am looking for a better way for symbol input, give me some time.

the T9 ui is good, of course, I will let it back.

I have do a small fix for browser textbox support, just 10 min ago. you can check new version in repo.

and, the background is just a small taste, someone like it and someone hate, I think I should give it a option.

en...about hildon-input-method...I just want to say, the hildon-input-method is REALLY NOT designed for CJK language, as a example, you cannot phrase KeyEvent in your plugin ( you juse get a notify to know a KeyEvent, but you cannot phrase it ), so, it will be a great task to write a hard keyboard CJK input-method.

I think the better way is write a gtk/qt immodule to replace hildon-input-method, maybe I will try it.
