= Proposed System Wide Change: IBus 1.5.19 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/IBus_1.5.19
Owner(s): * Takao Fujiwara <fujiwara at redhat dot com> IBus 1.5.19 will have two features. # Move the input entry on IBus emoji dialog to the input entry on each application using IBus pre-edit text so that the focus event is not changed when the emoji typing is enabled# Ctrl-Shift-u feature of typing Unicode code points is separated from Ctrl-Shift-e feature so that neither an additional dialog or popup window is needed. # Typing compose keys will have a pre-edit text == Detailed description == Currently Ctrl-Shift-e launches an IBus emoji dialog and users type emoji annotations in an input entry on the dialog and the input entry can convert the muti-byte annotation to an emoji character, besides ASCII annotation. However the dialog takes the current input focus in any desktop environments and also the dialog position cannot determined in Wayland because the dialog has no parent windows. IBus 1.5.19 will move the input entry on the emoji dialog to the current input context on each applications using IBus pre-edit feature. Users type emoji annotations on the pre-edit text after they type Ctrl-Shift-e and typing space key launches a lookup window to show emoji candidates. Currently Ctrl-Shift-u feature of typing Unicode code point is consolidated in the emoji dialog because one shortcut key of Ctrl-Shift-e can cover the feature but the code point feature would not need to launch the dialog because the candidate character is only one so IBus 1.5.19 will separate the Ctrl-Shift-u feature from Ctrl-Shift-e one and both keybindings can be customizable with ibus-setup. Currently IBus compose feature does not show anything until the output character is determined. IBus 1.5.9 will shows the pre-edit text during users compose a sequence. E.g. Multi_key-apostrophe-e outputs 'é' and shows the apostrophe as a character on the pre-edit until 'e' is typed. == Scope == * Proposal owners: IBusEngine class will be changed in ibus-libs package to handle Ctrl-Shift-e and Ctrl-Shift-u and it will effects all IBus engines. * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: #7582 [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7582] ** List of deliverables: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A -- Jan Kuřík JBoss EAP Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/IHIKAUYGSUUA6FXE5DM5KKOX7MM3INHM/
