Thanks for these details. I did a bit of experimentation with a Ubutunu 14.10 remote host ibus-daemon -drx export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus" Gives me working ibus with xterm. I couldn't get emacs working with ibus even locally, and setting that up seems to be a bit obscure. Are you using ibus.el? Chromium just works for me. > On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 11:38 PM, Jon TURNEY > wrote: >> On 25/03/2015 06:44, Arthur Tu wrote: >>> >>> Is there a way to use input method in cygwin-x environment? >>> >>> For example, when I invoke emacs with >>> """"""""""""""""" >>> ssh -X remote-machine >>> emacs >>> """""""""""""""""" >>> >>> I can't use either input methods in local windows machine or those in >>> remote linux server. >> >> >> This is something that I want to work, but I'm afraid I have no experience >> using IMEs, so I'm not sure what needs doing, which is why the section [1] >> in the User's Guide is currently empty.
