uum

uum is a client for the japanese freewnn server(see section 6.2.2). like canuum(see section 6.3.1, it can be used to input japanese into japanese capable terminal emulators.

you start the uum client like: 

 mfabian@gregory:~$ uum -u -d localhost ｕｕｍ(かな漢字変換フロントエンドプロセッサ) mfabian@gregory:~$ [---]

as with canuum, the option ``-u'' indicates that the terminal emulator uses euc-jp encoding.

now type ``control-backslash'' to toggle from english into japanese mode: 

 mfabian@gregory:~$ [あr]

type ``nihongo'', which will be converted to にほんご: 

 mfabian@gregory:~$ [あr] にほんご

type ``control-w'' to convert the hiragana into kanji: 

 mfabian@gregory:~$ [あr] 日本語

type ``control-w'' again to see a list of candidates: 

 mfabian@gregory:~$ [あr]0.日本語 1.二本語 2.二本後 3.日本語 4.二本後 5.弐本後     6/8

select the correct candidate and confirm the selection with ``control-l'': 

 mfabian@gregory:~$ [あr] 日本語

to see the other default key bindings for uum not covered in the above simple example, please have a look at /etc/freewnn/ja/uumkey.
