``GtkIMMulticontext`` is an input method context supporting multiple,
switchable input methods.

Text widgets such as ``GtkText`` or ``GtkTextView`` use a ``GtkIMMultiContext``
to implement their ``im-module`` property for switching between different
input methods.



Constructors
------------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: IMMulticontext
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: new() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.IMContext

      Creates a new ``GtkIMMulticontext``.














Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: IMMulticontext
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_context_id() -> str

      Gets the id of the currently active delegate of the ``context``.










   .. method:: set_context_id(context_id: str | None = None) -> None

      Sets the context id for ``context``.

      This causes the currently active delegate of ``context`` to be
      replaced by the delegate corresponding to the new context id.

      Setting this to a non-:const:`None` value overrides the system-wide
      IM module setting. See the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.Settings.props.gtk_im_module`
      property.
