[SCIM] Selection keys in scim-chinese (and scim-skk)

[Yukiko Bando]

Hello,

It was not announced here but scim-skk-0.1.0 was released last night.  
http://sourceforge.jp/projects/scim-imengine/

Based on ddskk, it allows users to choose from three types of selection keys 
in the setup panel like this.

The qwerty and dvorak arrangements use the home position keys of each keyboard 
layout, i.e. asdfjkl or aoeuhtns.

The number selection uses 1-0 just like the current scim-chinese.

How about adopting the same method in scim-chinese?  

In that case, please add the azerty arrangement (qsdfjklm) too for 
French users. :)

Regards,
Yukiko
