+USAGE OF THE PLUGINS BEFORE MAEMO 5
+
After installing, you can activate the plugin like so:
+
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/input_method_plugin "himExample_vkb"

-Or this might be the new way with Maemo Fremantle:
- gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/use_finger_kb true
- gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger "himExample_vkb"

+USAGE OF THE PLUGINS IN MAEMO 5:
+
+The example plugins can be tested by modifying the value of the following
+GConf keys, which indicate the preferred plugin to be used for each trigger
+(keyboard, finger or stylus):
+
/apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/hw-keyboard
-and
/apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/stylus
-)
+ /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger

-And these might be helpful:
- gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/osso/inputmethod/have-internal-keyboard true
- gconftool-2 --type bool --set /system/osso/af/slide-open false
+The default values are "hildon_keyboard_assistant" for the keyboard and
+"hildon_western_fkb" for finger and stylus. Note that the finger/stylus
+detection might not work.

+For example:
+
+ gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/use_finger_kb true
+ gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger "hildon_im_example_fkb"
+
+The following keys might be interesting for simulating the behaviour of a real
+device within a Scratchbox environment:
+
+ /apps/osso/inputmethod/have-internal-keyboard
+ true if the device has a HW keyboard, false if not (default: true)
+
+ /system/osso/af/slide-open
+ true if the HW keyboard is open, false if it is closed
+
+
TODO: Add the URL of actual documentation about these gconf keys.
