This is a general term for code (libraries, modules, or programs) which
provide different methods of inputting text using a keyboard when the
keyboard doesn't provide a key for every character which you might want
to input, which is a pretty big problem in certain non-English locales
with large alphabets.

The Wikipedia article on input method editors [1] gives a decent, if
brief (but longer than mine), rundown of the problem, and there's quite
a bit of detail about how it works in the graphical environment in
Chapter 9 of C-DAC Mumbai's Guide to Localisation [2].

The Ctrl-Shift method which GTK+ provides by default is suggested by
ISO/IEC 14755.

After that, all I can suggest is a good search engine.

Cheers,
