Use “im-config” to select “xim” as input method. It will change your “~/.xinputrc” file to define “xim” as selected method. = Expected behavior =================== 1. You should be able to use your “~/.XCompose” sequences in any program inside Ubuntu. = Current behavior ================== 1. Your “XCompose” sequences won't work anywhere inside the Chromium window, and any input in Chromium will behave sometimes as the standard input (“ibus”, if I recall correctly), other times it will ignore dead keys completely (apostrophe, quotes and grave have no effect). 1.1. I say “sometimes” because I couldn't figure out what makes/when it behave in any of the two ways. But both are wrong anyway, so it does not really matter. Other programs I've tried so far (gedit, firefox and others) work correctly all the time, i.e., I can normally use my XCompose escape sequencies as expected. = Rationale =========== As of now, I need “XCompose” sequences in order to type special characters and diacritics easily and correctly, for portuguese. As it happens, the standard input does not provide an easy way to type c-cedilla (ç), as the input sequence (apostrophe-c) ends with a c-acute (ć) instead. Therefore, I'd like Chromium to behave as the other programs do, i.e., using “xim” as the input method. = lsb_release -rd ================= Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 = apt-cache policy pkgname ========================== chromium-browser: Installed: 34.0.1847.116-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 34.0.1847.116-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 34.0.1847.116-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: chromium-browser 34.0.1847.116-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Apr 18 18:54:32 2014 Desktop-Session: DESKTOP_SESSION = ubuntu XDG_CONFIG_DIRS = /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/usr/share/upstart/xdg:/etc/xdg XDG_DATA_DIRS = /usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/ DetectedPlugins: Env: MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH = None LD_LIBRARY_PATH = None InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-18 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) SourcePackage: chromium-browser UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) chromium-default: CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" gconf-keys: /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec = b'/usr/bin/chromium-browser\n'/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command = b'/usr/bin/chromium-browser %s\n'/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled = b'true\n'/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command = b'/usr/bin/chromium-browser %s\n'/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/enabled = b'true\n'/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager = b''/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager = b''/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme = b'gnome\n'/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme = b'Clearlooks\n' modified.conffile..etc.default.chromium.browser: [deleted] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1309781/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
