The ImmPlugin does not work on Windows 10. This would be helpful for different scenarios: Ultrabooks with a touch keyboard, but also pop-up dialogs for clipboard history or character table, which usually pop up at the caret, just not in Squeak.
Oh yes, another cleanup project! :-) Does the current ImmPluginWin32 work for anyone?

Best,

Kinda; I did some faffing with it for the Scratch/Pi stuff several years ago. I faintly recall there being some really irritating clash between the settings/installs required and... something or other. Sometihng to do with  the `-compositionInput` and clashing with unix key handling and 'anthy' and iBus?

I don't recall managing to fully solve it.
