gtkmm support for keyboard input processing and input methods (or lack thereof)

[Chrysme <chrysme gmail com>]

Hello,


Is there any plan to wrap the parts of Gtk+ needed for proper keyboard
input handling?

Looking through the documentation for gtkmm 2.4, it seems the only way
to process individual key press/release events is to read the raw
GdkEventKey, but gdk_unicode_to_keyval(), gdk_keyval_to_unicode() and
related keymap functions are not present in gdkmm. As for text entry,
the necessary Gtk+ classes GtkIMContext, GtkIMMulticontext, etc are
not wrapped in gtkmm.

I'm new to gtkmm, and it was pretty disappointing to see that I can't
support more than the Queen's ASCII without having to fall back on
Gtk+.


Regards.
