ibus-caesar

===========

**ibus-caesar** is a useless IBus input method.  It allows writing

[Caesar cipher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher) straight out of

your keyboard, as well as ciphering or deciphering such codes on the fly.

Installation

------------

No installation is actually required for a recreational use.  Just run

`ibus-caesar.py -s` and start typing.  See `ibus-caesar.py --help` for more

options and details.

It is however possible to install the input method system-wide.  To do so,

run:

```shell

$ make PREFIX=/usr

# make install PREFIX=/usr

```

You can change `PREFIX` to your liking (defaults to */usr/local*), but there

are two things to note:

1. Set `PREFIX` on *both* `make` and `make install` calls.

2. The IBus component will be installed in `$PREFIX/share/ibus/component/`,

   which might or might not be somewhere IBus looks at.

Also, remember to run `make clean` if you already ran `make` with another

prefix.

Enabling the input method

-------------------------

If run manually, you can use the `-s` switch to set IBus' *global-engine* to

`caesar`.

Regardless of the way *ibus-caesar* has been started, you can use

`ibus engine caesar` to switch to that engine.

The `caesar` engine uses a shift to the right of 3.  You can specify a

different shift using `caesar:2`, `caesar:25` or alike.  Possible shift values

are from 1 to 25.

Usage

-----

Just type normally, and the basic ASCII letters will be ciphered according to

the shift.

To cipher or decipher existing lines of text, move the cursor to such a line

and type *Ctrl+e* for ciphering and *Ctrl+Shift+e* for deciphering.

**Warning**: This shifts input.  It's damn annoying.  And it won't stop until

you switch to another input method or stop the *ibus-caesar* engine.
