Done. ctrl+< to go backward, ctrl+> to go forward LEs are
assigned for the hotkey.

LH>     * Toggle Key & configurations

Also Done. it supports only the system-wide configuration
for now. How to configure the hotkey are:

(Assuming here that I want to use shift+space, alt+kanji and
kanji key to activate IM for Japanese)

1. iiimf-le-tools -g --lang ja --add-hotkey '<shift>space'
   --add-hotkey '<alt>kanji' --add-hotkey 'kanji'
2. kill -HUP <iiimd's pid>
3. run/restart the applications

These keys are used to activate IM for Japanese
only. otherwise default keys(ctrl+space etc) will be used
for other LEs. For more available options, see --help.

half-done by Ichimura-san. probably deferred.

related to this, -preferredload option was added. it will be
useful to run the server with low memory space. I mean all
of the users doesn't necessarily want to load all of
LEs. this option allows you to load only LEs which you
prefer. e.g. you can load atokx2 LE only. below is the steps
to do it:

1. iiimf-le-tools --install /usr/lib/iiim/le/atokx2/atokx2.so
   (If you want to do it as the system-wide, specify -g
   optin too)
2. iiimd -preferredload -user
   (without -user as needed)

Then you can use atokx2 LE only then.


Thanks,
