[Qt-interest] Is it possible to write an input method using Qt (QInputContextPlugin)?

  Currently Qt doesn't provide any framework that allows you to create 
platform specific input methods - the QInputContext is supposed to be 
used to communicate with the platform specific IM. Moreover input method 
plugins are only supported on X11, meaning on Windows and Mac Qt uses 
input methods provided by the system only. So for now the only way I can 
see is to create native input methods which will be used by Qt 
automatically through the internal input method handling code.
