- | ===== What is SCIM? ===== | ||
- | SCIM stands for 'Smart common input method,' | ||
- | ===== Why would I wish to use it? ===== | ||
- | If you need to switch between keyboard layouts, and your needs are beyond what xkb provides, SCIM provides a useful alternative. I personally use it to type ancient Greek, pointed Hebrew, and Chinese. | ||

- | ===== How do I set it up in XFCE ===== | ||
- | SCIM is no more difficult to setup in XFCE than in Gnome or KDE. The easiest user level way to set it up is to edit the .Xsession file. | ||
