Thai input method (THIM)

The Thai input method is similar to the single-byte input method (SIM), except that it is customized for processing the Thai language.

Specifically, it is designed to prevent entry of combinations of Thai characters (consonants, upper/lower vowels, tone marks) that are not valid in the Thai language. The features of the THIM are as follows:

  • Supports Latin and Thai groups, as the two main groups on the keyboard.
    • Pressing the left-alt key and left-shift key puts the keyboard in the Thai group.
    • Pressing the left-alt key and right-shift key puts the keyboard in the Latin group.
  • Supports the TIS-620 code set.
