[Nix-dev] Call for input method PR review

[Eric Sagnes]

Hi,

The PR to improve the state of input methods [1] in NixOS is ready for review.
Input methods are a way to input characters/symbols that are not available on the keyboard, see wikipedia for more details [2].

Input methods being a very important feature for non alphabetical languages (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, ...),
it could be nice to have this PR merged for 16.03.

Please consider test/review the PR if you would like to see multi-language support in NixOS improved.

The Testing section of the PR [1] description give basic instructions on how to test.
The approach is to rebase the branch on current nixos-unstable to avoid lot of rebuilds,
but that trigger a few merge conflicts (that should be trivial to fix).

Note for LaTeX users, the table-other engine for fcitx provide basic support for LaTeX symbols input.

Cheers,
