[Uim] Fwd: Cancel key in prediction state of anthy

[Etsushi Kato]

Hi,

I've recently implemented Anthy's input prediction support in uim-anthy,
and now I can say it works pretty well.  This feature will be available in
uim 1.2.0.

This week, Jae-hyeon Park and I discussed about the behavior of cancel
key and how to escape numeral keys in the input prediction state with
candidate selection by numeral keys is on.  And the result is
available in r3751 of svn trunk.  Any comment is welcome.

Cheers,

Thank you very much for the implementation.
I just tested it, and it is very interesting!
It may be better to CC this email to the uim mailing list.
