Comment #6 on issue 830 by [email protected]: ibus-table only works
with us keyboard layout
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=830
This seems to be only a misunderstanding about the behaviour of the
left shift key.
Example for the behaviour of the left shift key:
- Type a
you see candidates starting with 工
- Type Shift_L
If the preëdit is not empty, Shift_L commits to preëdit.
As the preëdit is not empty, 工 is committed to preëdit (that means
the candidates disappear and 工 becomes red and the wubi-jidian86
key sequences for 工 are shown: “a aaa aaaa”).
- type SPACE
工 is really committed to the application now
- Type Shift_L
Now it switches to direct input mode because the preëdit is empty.
You can see that also in the leftmost icon in the floating panel
at the top right of the screen, it toggles from 中 to 英.
- Type a
An “a” is inserted (maybe halfwidth or fullwidth, depending on the
settings)
- Type Shift_L
Now it switches to Chinese mode again because the preëdit is empty.
The leftmost icon in the floating panel toggles from 英 to 中 again.
- Type a
you see candidates starting with 工
See attached movie.
I.e. Shift_L has two different functions in ibus-table:
1) if the preëdit is empty it toggles between Latin input and Chinese input
2) if the preëdit is *not* empty, it commits the currently selected
candidate to preëdit.
Committing to preëdit means that the wubi keys for that character are
shown. And, it is possible to type more characters and commit them to
preëdit. When the whole preëdit is finally committed to the application
by typing SPACE, a new wubi shortcut is defined for the whole string.
Example:
- Type “wqiy” and commit the candidate 你 to preëdit with Shift_L
- Type “vbg” and commit the candidate 好 to preëdit with Shift_L
Now you see 你好 in the preëdit, coloured red and in the auxiliary
text you see:
vb vbg #: wqvb
or, when you move the cursor with arrow-left over the 你
you see:
wq wqi wqiy #: wqvb
The key sequence after the “#:”, i.e. “wqvb” is the new key sequence
which will be defined for the whole string 你好 when this is commited
with SPACE to the application now.
