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. I hope you can help me with identifying what that needs to say! I believe it should possible to start your IME (ibus, scim, etc.) in the remote sessions and have that work. Alternatively, there was some work done a while ago to provide a bridge between the native Windows IME and the server, which I believe allowed using the native Windows IME to input into X windows. If that is useful, I can probably bring that up to date.

I have a linux machine with ibus installed. When using that machine natively, I can use ibus without any further configuration, except for ibus daemon startup. Applications like gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, emacs24, google-chrome and chromium work fine ibus. When I access that machine from another Windows computer with "ssh -Y machine" and start ibus daemon with "ibus-daemon&", the following behavior was obeserved. 1. ibus worked fine with gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and goolge-chrome. 2. ibus didn't work with xterm, emacs24 and chromium. I am extremely crazy about different behavior of ibus with google-chrome and chromium. I think it is a good idea to bring native Windows IME into cygwin/x.

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 > <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk> 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.

In fact I wrote ``` export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus ``` in .bashrc as suggested in some threads, but I forgot I was in zsh environment... Now everything works fine. Thank you very much! ibus-el doesn't work for ibus 1.5+. As far as i recall, emacs24 works with ibus1.5 without further configuration like ibus-el.
