For newer Wayland based GUI desktop systems, this im-config package can be safely removed. These desktop environments should configure their input method configuration. . The input method is the essential mechanism for Japanese, Chinese and Korean (CJK) languages to enter their non-ASCII native characters. . Many modern input methods such as IBus support not only one of these CJK languages but support almost all languages simultaneously by dynamically switching keyboard modes with GUI helper program. . By installing this package, the most desirable input method and its backend conversion engine are automatically configured with both the X Window System Input Method (XIM), GTK input method module, Qt input method module, and clutter input method module. . You can further customize your input method with 'im-config' command.
