Class VietKeyInput

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.vietpad.inputmethod.VietKeyInput

public class VietKeyInput
extends Object

Vietnamese keyboard driver (input engine) for Java text components. An instance of the VietKeyListener class serves as a preprocessor to this class. Together, they give Swing text components the capability of Vietnamese text input.

Input keys for diacritical marks follow VNI convention:

    1: ', 2: `, 3: ?, 4: ~, 5: ., 6: ^, 7: +, 8: (, 9: -, 0: remove diacritics.
 

Also, repeating the accent key deletes the accent just entered.

Method Summary

static char	getAccentInTelex(String curWord, char key, char accent) Determines the correct accent for Telex mode.
static boolean	isAccentRemoved() Determines if accent is removed by repeating accent key, not by designated accent-removing key.
static void	setDiacriticsPosClassic(boolean classic) Sets the diacritics position to follow the classic style.
static String	shiftAccent(String curWord, char key) Shifts the accent mark to the correct vowel in a multiple-vowel sequence, as in tòa + n -> toàn.
static char	toVietChar(char curChar, char accentKey) Composes the Vietnamese character.
static char	toVietChar(char curChar, int accentIndex) Composes the Vietnamese character.
static String	toVietWord(String curWord, char accentKey) Composes the Vietnamese word.
static String	toVietWord(String curWord, int accentIndex) Composes the Vietnamese word.
