Hi, The PR to improve the state of input methods [1] in NixOS is ready for review. Input methods are a way to input characters/symbols that are not available on the keyboard, see wikipedia for more details [2].
Input methods being a very important feature for non alphabetical languages (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, ...), it could be nice to have this PR merged for 16.03. Please consider test/review the PR if you would like to see multi-language support in NixOS improved. The Testing section of the PR [1] description give basic instructions on how to test. The approach is to rebase the branch on current nixos-unstable to avoid lot of rebuilds, but that trigger a few merge conflicts (that should be trivial to fix). Note for LaTeX users, the table-other engine for fcitx provide basic support for LaTeX symbols input.
