Re: F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Ibus-typing-booster default for Indian languages
Hi folks,
If it's not a single input source, I'd think it could be an idea to implement
the languages tag besides language tag in that ibus compose file.

How would I try this out in Fedora 29?
I see that I have ibus-typing-booster installed, but I don't see any
sign of it in the GNOME "Region & Language" panel input source
selection. Does ibus-typing-booster look like one input support for
each supported language, or does it look like a single input source?
It looks like a single input source. Here are some
screen shots how to add it using the GNOME "Region & Language" panel:
http://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html#adding-gnome
It is listed under “Other” in the GNOME "Region & Language" panel input
source selection.
That is because it use “t” here:
$ /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml
typing-booster
Typing Booster
t

/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/icons/ibus-typing-booster.svg
default
A completion input method to speedup
typing.
/usr/libexec/ibus-setup-typing-booster
InputMode
At the moment, ibus supports only one language in the
“t” tag. And as ibus-typing-booster supports many
languages, “en” does not seem right, it would look
like it supports only English. So only “t” for “Other” seems appropriate
at the moment. But it is a bit hard to find in “Other” in the GNOME
"Region & Language" panel.
When ibus-typing-booster is first used, it defaults to dictionaries
and m17n-input-methods appropriate to the locale it is first started in.
/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/engine/itb_util.py contains the defaults,
for example for Marathi it has:
LOCALE_DEFAULTS = {
...
'mr_IN': {'inputmethods': ['mr-inscript2', 'NoIme'], 'dictionaries':
['mr_IN', 'en_GB']},
...
So when the locale is mr_IN.UTF-8 while ibus-typing-booster is first
started, it defaults to the two input methods 'mr-inscript2' (a Marathi
input method) and 'NoIme' (that is direct keyboard input, useful for
English) and the dictionaries for mr_IN and for en_GB.
This can be changed in the setup tool of ibus-typing-booster, one can
choose up to 10 input methods and 10 dictionaries at the same time.
Thanks!
Owen

Re: F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Ibus-typing-booster default for Indian languages
OK, so trying it out, I note the following: * The top panel shows a full-color rocket where the current language would normally be indicated (this needs to be monochromatic, but it also needs to be meaningful) * There is no I can find to use ibus-typing-booster to type in something other than the current locale. I'd imagine that typing in more than one Indian script is a real use case? In any case, the design is that input sources are per-language and you switch input source to switch input language. * Under wayland (at least), there is severe flashing where the candidate window disappears and appears for every keystroke. Presumably we have feedback from native speakers that the ibus-typing-booster makes things better for them - but I think we need to address the above issues to make the switch over.

F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Ibus-typing-booster default for Indian languages
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Ibus_typing_booster_default_for_indian_languages
== Summary ==
Make ibus-typing-booster the default input method for Indian languages.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Mfabian|Mike Fabian]]
* Email:
== Detailed Description ==
Currently, ibus-m17n is the default input method for Indian languages
in Fedora. ibus-typing-booster uses the same libm17n used by
ibus-m17n to support input for Indian languages and thus it can do
everything ibus-m17n can do. But on top of that, ibus-typing-booster
supports predictive input by remembering user input and by using words
from dictionaries. Therefore, ibus-typing-booster is a more useful input method
for these languages.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
A better input experience for users of Indian languages.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
The langtable package has data about default input methods. Change this data.
But the data in langtable is currently apparently not used by
gnome-initial setup.
The list of default input methods used by gnome-initial-setup us stored in
libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h
Currently there are the following default input methods for the Indian locales:
static DefaultInputSource default_input_sources[] =
{
...
{ "as_IN","ibus", "m17n:as:phonetic" },
...
{ "bn_IN","ibus", "m17n:bn:inscript" },
...
{ "gu_IN","ibus", "m17n:gu:inscript" },
...
{ "hi_IN","ibus", "m17n:hi:inscript" },
...
{ "kn_IN","ibus", "m17n:kn:kgp" },
...
{ "mai_IN", "ibus", "m17n:mai:inscript" },
...
{ "ml_IN","ibus", "m17n:ml:inscript" },
...
{ "mr_IN","ibus", "m17n:mr:inscript" },
...
{ "or_IN","ibus", "m17n:or:inscript" },
...
{ "pa_IN","ibus", "m17n:pa:inscript" },
...
{ "sd_IN","ibus", "m17n:sd:inscript" },
...
{ "ta_IN","ibus", "m17n:ta:tamil99" },
...
{ "te_IN","ibus", "m17n:te:inscript" },
...
{ "ur_IN","ibus", "m17n:ur:phonetic" },
...
Here, "m17n:as:phonetic" would need to be replaced with "typing-booster".
And similar for the other Indian languages.
ibus-typing-booster selects the default input method to use
from the locale when it is first started. For the above Indian
locales ibus-typing-booster >= 2.4.2 has the same default
m17n input methods as libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h,
except that it always uses inscript2 instead of inscript by default.
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Nothing should happen when upgrading from a previous version of Fedora.
If a user used ibus-m17n before the upgrade, he will still use it
after the upgrade.
This change proposal only changes the default input method for an
Indian language
for new installs or new user accounts.
== How To Test ==
Do a new installation of Fedora 30 in an Indian language. Log into Gnome.
See what input method is suggested by default by gnome-initial-setup.
== User Experience ==
Easier input of Indian language because of predictive input.
== Dependencies ==
gnome-initial-setup
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Leave the default input methods as they are
now and move the change to Fedora 31
* Contingency deadline: Fedora 30 Beta release
* Blocks release? No.
* Blocks product? No.
