New issue 1183 by [email protected]: Custom m17n files as user
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1183

We are using ibus to type mathematical unicode symbols in proof scripts. For this, we have written a custom .mim file, which for example includes the following lines:

  ("\\forall" ?∀)
  ("\\fun" ?λ)
  ("\\exists" ?∃)

For new mathematical notions we introduce new symbols and hence the above file should be extended. Since this file needs to be stored in /usr/share/m17n root access is required making this operation rather cumbersome. Or even, impossible, if I do not have root access on that machine.

It would be nicer if ibus is able to look in the user's home directory, for example ~/.m17n, for custom m17n files. Or even better, if custom paths, or m17n files, could be specified. That way I could add an m17n file which is under version control to ibus.
