Re: Re: chinese input method collided with gnumeric

Dear Jody,

   I contacted with the chinese input method author,and he told me how to change the enable key of it,then I 
did it successful and change default enable key to ctrl+shift using the method he told me.I can use the 
chinese input method now.

   In fact,all chinese input method's default enable key is ctrl+space,I hoped that gnumeric develop team can 
consider this problem,and adjust the accelerator of gnumeric,or like what's you said,the accelerator can be 
editable.All people using chinese input method will be glad to see that.

   ps:I ever wanted to enable the input method through the input method context menu of edit line,but it 
didn't work.I don't know why.

   Thanks your answer.
