Hello, In Ubuntu, the wijesekera keyboard is provided by the ibus-m17n package, which I find included by default in Ubuntu 21.04 as well as in Ubuntu 20.04. If I go into Settings->Region & Language, I am able to find this keyboard under 'Other' -> 'Sinhala'.
Is the problem that selecting wijesekera gives the wrong keymap, or is the problem that it has to be manually selected instead of being the default when choosing Sinhala as a language? Because I cannot find where it was the default input method for Sinhala prior to Ubuntu 21.04.
