Comment #7 on issue 1403 by [email protected]: Unable to customize Kana Key Table
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1403
Thanks for feedback.
1. My physical keyboard is "ru". This keyboard has the same layout for
latin characters as the "us" keyboard and, as far as I know, scancodes are
also the same. (It is not so for the "jp" keyboard - I suspect that some
Japanese keyboard layout stuff if hardwired to ibus-anthy.)
2. I tried both variants - ibus keyboard layout and system keyboard layout.
Even tried to modify kana_typing_rule_static in ibus-anthy/engine/tables.py
by hand.
By the way, "Use system keyboard layout" is much worse for kana input on
101-key-type keyboard. As for native ibus layout, the only problem is the
need to switch to Romaji typing method each time I have to type the word
containing "ろ" or "ー" symbol. In system keyboard layout there is a
complete uncustomizable mess for kana input in ibus-anthy.
3. Yes
4. Yes. Even rebooted the computer.
It seems that Japanese layout is hardwired somewhere in ibus. The "`"
symbol in Japanese keyboard is located on the same key as "゛" (濁点 -
voiced consonant mark). It looks like that for this reason "`" and "@"
symbols are treated in a very special way in ibus and thus are problematic
to remap to anything else.
I'm new to Python and especially ibus, but things like
if self.__typing_mode == jastring.TYPING_MODE_KANA:
if keyval == keysyms._0 and state == modifier.SHIFT_MASK:
keyval = keysyms.asciitilde
in ibus-anthy/engine/engine.py look very layout-dependent for me.
I'll try to find time to read and understand ibus and ibus-anthy code - may
be I'll be able to write more useful comments on this issue.
