uim (short for "universal input method") is a multilingual input method framework. Applications can use it through so-called bridges.

Supported applications

[edit]

uim supports the X Window System legacy XIM (short for X Input Method) through the uim-xim bridge. Many X applications are written in either GTK or Qt, which have their own modules dealing with input methods, and uim supports both of these with its GTK and Qt immodules.

uim has a bridge for the console (uim-fep), Emacs (uim.el), and macOS (MacUIM).
