Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QInputContextFactory class creates PySide.QtGui.QInputContext objects.

The input context factory creates a PySide.QtGui.QInputContext object for a given key with QInputContextFactory.create() .

The input contexts are either built-in or dynamically loaded from an input context plugin (see QInputContextPlugin ).

PySide.QtGui.QInputContextFactory.keys() returns a list of valid keys. The keys are the names used, for example, to identify and specify input methods for the input method switching mechanism. The names have to be consistent with QInputContext.identifierName() , and may only contain ASCII characters.

A key can be used to retrieve the associated input context’s supported languages using PySide.QtGui.QInputContextFactory.languages() . You can retrieve the input context’s description using PySide.QtGui.QInputContextFactory.description() and finally you can get a user friendly internationalized name of the PySide.QtGui.QInputContext object specified by the key using PySide.QtGui.QInputContextFactory.displayName() .

Return type:list of strings

Returns the list of keys this factory can create input contexts for.

The keys are the names used, for example, to identify and specify input methods for the input method switching mechanism. The names have to be consistent with QInputContext.identifierName() , and may only contain ASCII characters.

static PySide.QtGui.QInputContextFactory.languages(key)

Parameters:key – unicode Return type:list of strings

Returns the languages supported by the PySide.QtGui.QInputContext object specified by key .

The languages are expressed as language code (e.g. “zh_CN”, “zh_TW”, “zh_HK”, “ja”, “ko”, ...). An input context that supports multiple languages can return all supported languages as a PySide.QtCore.QStringList . The name has to be consistent with QInputContext.language() .

This information may be used to optimize a user interface.
