Oh really?  So only Traditional Chinese IM uses Cpas_Lock as as mode
toggle?  I just checked source code of libchewing-0.3.0 and
SCIM-chewing, and found they use Caps_Lock as a English/Chinese mode
toggle.  But for Num_Lock, I was wrong and this is just used as a
modifier.

It seems libchewing is faily easy to use, so maybe I can write
Traditional Chinese IM for uim.  But for Simplified Chinese IM I'm
totally not sure.  It seems some component in SCIM-fcitx seems usable
for uim too.  Anyway I should learn Chinese language and its grammar
some time in the future ;)
