* Package name : fcitx5-ngosen Version : 1.5.6 Upstream Contact: Nguyen Phi <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/ngosen/ngosen * License : GPL-3.0-or-later, LGPL-2.1-or-later, GPL-2.0-or-later, BSD-3-Clause, OFL-1.1, CC0-1.0 Programming Lang: C++, Rust, Python Description : Vietnamese input method for fcitx5 Ngó Sen is a Vietnamese input method for fcitx5. Its main mode writes letters directly into the application without a preedit underline and replaces the text before the cursor to apply tone marks, so address-bar and search suggestions update with each key. A preedit mode is also available. It includes a Qt settings window, macros and spelling checks. Debian already ships fcitx5-bamboo and fcitx5-unikey, which type with a preedit underline. Ngó Sen differs in its typing mode without preedit. I am the upstream maintainer and would like to maintain the package within the Debian Input Method Team. I am not a Debian Developer and will need a sponsor. The typing core is the Rust crate bamboo-core, which is not yet in Debian. Its current release accepts the phf version in sid, and I plan to package it through the Debian Rust team first.
