TabIMSwitch is an FireFox extension which enables FireFox to save the Input
Method of each Tab and change it accordingly when switching tabs. It also
enables disabling Input Method for address bar.
For most east-Asian user such as Chinese/Korean/Japanese, people always have to
use Input Methods for typing characters. But FireFox 2.0 has poor support for
intelligent Input Method switching. For example, people may open several tabs,
one for writing blog in Chinese, one for writing wiki in English, and the other
for chatting (via Google Talk online) with Japanese friends in Japanese. When
switching between these tabs, people may expect the Input method can switch
intelligently. But FireFox 2.0 does not support that.
To enable this feature for FireFox, this extension is developed. The feature of
the extension includes:
* Save the input method status of each tab and switch the input method
according to current tab.
* Switch to English input method when focus on address bar.
* Switch the input method status when changing between different windows.
(New in 1.0.0.7)
Version 1.0 supports Windows 2000/XP/2003 with FireFox 2.0.0.* only. We expect
porting it to Linux SCIM platform and other versions of FireFox.
Now, download and begin to enjoy it!
