Now that Apple has given us X11 for OSX, there's one last
piece to the puzzle that I need.
With X applications now, the way to get Japanese keyboard
input is to run kinput2 and Canna (or some other back end).
Keyboard switching and input is all done using the XIM
protocol. The X application talks to kinput2, which in turn
uses Canna to do kanna to kanji conversion.
This is all fine and dandy on a Unix box where this is the
only input method implementation. But OSX has a perfectly
good keyboard layout and input method for Japanese already.
What would be really nice is if Apple could write their own
XIM server to replace kinput2. Apple's could use all the
powerful stuff they already have to implement this.
Our customers in Japan would be very happy if this were done.
