htt(1)htt(1)NAMEhtt - X input method server
SYNOPSIShtt [ options ]
AVAILABILITY
SUNWxim
DESCRIPTIONhtt is an X input method server which interfaces internationalized X
Window applications and the language specific conversion engines. When
users input texts that require dictionary lookup, htt provides an
interface for the text input, based on X Input Method specification in
X11R5 and X11R6. htt uses XIMP4.0 (protocol) , which complies with the
XIM specification which is a part of X11R5 and X11R6. htt also sup‐
ports XIMCP (protocol), which complies with the XIM specification of
X11R6. htt provides a graphical user interface to customize the input
method behavior. The graphical user interface part is a separate pro‐
gram htt_props , which is automatically started by htt.
OPTIONS
Most command-line options have counterparts in the resource database.
A command-line option will override any setting from the resource data‐
base.
-bd border_color
Specify a string value for the border color for the htt root
window; default is "black".
-bg background_color
Specify a string value for the background color for the htt win‐
dow; default is "white".
-bp background_pixmap_file_name
Specify the bitmap file from which a pixmap is created. htt
uses this pixmap for its root window background.
-display host:display.screen
Specify the screen where the htt window is to be displayed.
-fg foreground_color
Specify a string value for the foreground color for the htt win‐
dow; default is "black".
-fn fontset_name
Specify the fontset for the characters htt uses in pre-edit
areas and status areas.
-help Display help information for htt.
-lc_basiclocale locale
htt starts itself in the specified language.
-lucbg lookup_choice_background_color
Specify a string value for the background color of popup windows
that display choices for converting characters (that is, lookup
choice popup windows). The default color string is "light
gray".
-lucfn lookup_choice_font_name
Specify a string value naming the font set htt uses to display
converted characters in lookup choice popup windows. Specify
using font-name in the same way as with -fn .
-lucstyle lookup_style
Specify where to display the choices of converted characters, in
either lookup choice popup window (default) or htt root window:
popup: display the list in a lookup choice popup window
rootwindow: display the list in an htt window
-nosm When this option is specified, htt does not respond to the ses‐
sion manager. In default, htt responds to the session manager,
when WM_SAVW_YOURSELF protocol is sent.
-root_geom <width>x<height>{+|-}<xoffset>{+|-}<yoffset>
Specify the size and location of an htt root window.
-so Server only mode. Starts htt without the graphical user inter‐
face. When htt is started with this option, users can attach
the graphical user interface by starting htt_props afterwards.
-xrm resource_name
Specify an additional resource database file for htt.
RESOURCES
ximp40 (class Ximp40)
When this resource value is true, htt provides support for
Ximp4.0 XIM protocols.
ximcp (class Ximcp)
When this resource value is true, htt provides support for
XIMCP XIM protocols.
language (class Language)
Htt supports multiple locales. This specifies the primary
locale used as default in the window titles and icon name. If
neither of the language nor languageList resource is specified,
a locale will be retrieved by the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
rent environment.
languageList (class LanguageList)
Htt supports multiple locales. This specifies a list of the
locale that Htt supports. If the language resource is not spec‐
ified, the first locale in the languageList list will be used
as a primary locale. The value can be specified by using ':'
as a separator. For example, when specified like, ja:ko htt is
started to service ja locale and ko locale at the same time.
Also, in this example, ja will be the primary locale (equiva‐
lent to language resource). If the first list in this resource
is not the same as language resource, htt issues a warning mes‐
sage and honors the language resource. If any of the locales
specified in the list are not system supported locales, htt
just ignores those entries.
eventFlow (class EventFlow)
This specifies the event flow control models, the static event
flow control or dynamic event flow control models. A static
event flow control lets Htt handle events regardless of the
event flow mode. A dynamic event flow control lets Xlib bypass
Htt whenever possible.
eventMethod (class EventMethod)
This specifies the event handling method, the front-end or
back-end methods. A front-end method intercepts events from the
X server before they reach the application. A back-end method
filters events from the application, before the application has
processed them.
eventSync (class EventSync)
This specifies whether or not the event synchronize the XIM
protocols.
filterEventMask (class FilterEventMask)
his resource requests that Htt is interested in the events
associated with the specified event mask. Some language engine
needs to know the events other than KeyPress.
conversionOnKeys (class ConversionOnKeys)
This specifies the key sequence which enables the conversion
mode on.
conversionOffKeys (class ConversionOffKeys)
This specifies the key sequence which enables the conversion
mode off. While the conversionOnKeys resource is specified, if
this conversionOffKeys resource is not specified, the conver‐
sionOnKeys resource is also used as the conversionOffKeys
resource.
interfaceModule (class InterfaceModule)
This specifies the language interface module which is loaded
dynamically into Htt core module. The HTT_IF_NAME environment
variable can be used to specify the same value, but this
resource value overrides it.
iconic (class Iconic)
This specifies whether or not Htt is started as an icon. If the
value is true, htt is started as an icon. If the value is
false, htt's property window opens when htt is started.
iconName (class IconName)
This specifies the icon name.
foreground (class Foreground)
This specifies the foreground color of any Htt windows.
background (class Background)
This specifies the background color of any Htt windows.
backgroundPixmap (class BackgroundPixmap)
This specifies the background pixmap of any Htt windows.
borderColor (class BorderColor)
This specifies the border color of any Htt windows.
borderWidth (class BorderWidth)
This specifies the border width of any Htt windows.
fontSet (class FontSet)
This specifies the base font name of the font set in the Htt
windows.
lineSpace (class LineSpace)
This specifies the line space value in pixels when a pre-edit
string exceeding one line. If this value is smaller than cur‐
rent font's maximum height, then Htt will use maximum height of
the font as a line space value.
rootGeometry (class RootGeometry)
This indicates the initial position and size of the root win‐
dow. If the offsets are not provided, the default value will be
used. The units for width and height are columns and rows. If
either the width or the height is zero, htt interprets the
value to full width/height of the screen.
rootStatusGeometry (class RootStatusGeometry)
The geometry of the status relative to the root window.
rootPreeditGeometry (class RootPreeditGeometry)
The geometry of the preedit relative to the root window.
rootLookupGeometry (class RootLookupGeometry)
The geometry of the lookup relative to the root window.
rootPlacement (class RootPlacement)
This resource indicates the policy of the root window of htt
(in case of XIMPreeditNothing or XIMStatusNothing). The possi‐
ble values are root - Place on the root window of the screen.
client - Place near the current client window. cursor - Place
near the cursor. As for the direction of where the root window
will be placed based on the rootPlacement resource, the rootPo‐
sition resource will be used. If this values is root, all
clients that use PreeditNothinng or StatusNothing will share a
single window.
rootPosition (class RootPosition)
This specifies the root window position based on the rootPlace‐
ment resource. The resource value has the following syntax:
primary_layout secondary_layout The layout values are one of
the following: top Place at the top side. bottom Place
at the bottom side. left Place at the left side. right
Place at the right side.
rootTitle (class RootTitle)
This specifies whether or not the root window has the window
title.
rootTitleName (class RootTitleName)
This specifies the window title of the root window. This is a
combination of the Name, Version, Locale and user specified
text.
rootAlwaysMapped (class RootAlwaysMapped)
If true, root window is mapped always. Otherwise, root window
is mapped only when there are at least one client that requires
the root window. This resource is valid only when rootPlace‐
ment is root.
preeditAutoWrap (class PreeditAutoWrap)
This specifies whether or not the preedit is wrapped at the
edge of the client window. This resource is valid when the
pre-edit style is overTheSpot.
preeditCaret (class PreeditCaret)
If none is set, no preedit carets are shown. Otherwise, the
shape of the caret is specified by this resource. This
resource is valid when the pre-edit style is not onTheSpot.
preeditCaretColor (class PreeditCaretColor)
This specifies the color of the preedit caret used when preed‐
itShowCaret is true. This resource is valid when the pre-edit
style is not onTheSpot.

dow.
This specifies the number of display columns in the
lookup window.
lookupLabelType (class LookupLabelType)
This specifies the type of characters that is used to label the
candidates in the lookup window.
lookupWindowType (class LookupWindowType)
This specifies where Htt displays the candidates of converted
characters, in the either lookup window or htt root window, or
the area for the status window. When statusarea is set, and if
the client is using XIMStatusArea input style, lookup menu
takes over the area for status rendering.
lookupSaveUnder (class LookupSaveUnder)
This specifies whether to save the image under the lookup win‐
dow display.
lookupMovable (class LookupMovable)
This specifies whether the lookup window is movable or not.
lookupFont (class LookupFont)

lookupGeometry (class LookupGeometry)
This specifies the geometry of the lookup window. The lookup
window size is not effective if specified.
lookupPlacement (class LookupPlacement)
This specifies the base point for the lookup window popup. The
window position is relative to the mouse pointer or the current
client window, or the spotlocation of the preedit (if the
client is XIMPreeditPosition input style.)
lookupPosition (class LookupPosition)
This specifies the direction of where the lookup window is to
be placed based on the lookupPlacement resource.
lookupBorderWidth (class LookupBorderWidth)
This specifies the border width of the lookup window.
lookupTitle (class LookupTitle)
This specifies whether or not the lookup window has the window
title.
lookupTitleName (class LookupTitleName)
