users can enter characters and symbols not found on their input devices. Using
an input method is obligatory for any language that has more graphemes than
there are keys on the keyboard.</para>
<para>The following input methods are available in NixOS:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>IBus: The intelligent input bus.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Fcitx: A customizable lightweight input
method.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Nabi: A Korean input method based on XIM.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Uim: The universal input method, is a library with a XIM
bridge.</para></listitem>
