Gtk-im-vi is a software that provides two GTK+ input methods - VNI and TELEX for easy input functionality. It's a simple and useful tool for users to input text faster and more accurately.
The software is also easy to install since it uses GTK+ 2.2 or later, which is easily obtainable. To compile and install, all you need to do is run the usual commands: ./configure, make, make install. However, be warned that installation overwrites the system-wide input module cache file, normally located at /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules. Don't worry, though - this is the right thing to do, as it ensures proper configuration of the software.
After installation, you'll want to add ${prefix}/lib/gtk-2.0/$(GTK_BINARY_VERSION)/immodules to your system-wide GTK_PATH. Doing so will ensure that the input modules are correctly installed and that the software will work correctly.
One possible downside is that there aren't many new features in the latest release. The only change is that previously missing files (intltool-*.in) have been added to the tarball. This is a minor detail, but it goes to show that developers are still updating and improving the software. All in all, gtj-im-vi is a straightforward and simple input method software that achieves what it sets out to do.
