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.
