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.
Version 1.0 supports Windows 2000/XP/2003 with FireFox 2.0.0.* and FireFox 3.0 Beta. We expect porting it to Linux SCIM platform, but supporting old FireFox 1.5 is not in our scope.
