    • Linux/Wayland, Linux/X11

    Description

      This would allow Qt to use gtk's input method backends which should drastically improve UX for non-latin users that use GTK environments. That also will allow Qt to support the Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut transparently. Here's the API: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.IMContext.html

      Here's Chromium backend using that API: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/master/ui/gtk/input_method_context_impl_gtk.cc
