Ibus doesn't offer french-latin9 keymap #2153
Comments
There is a related Ubuntu bug too. Not even the standard English (UK) layout is present. |
As you may already notice, the simple.xml can be customizable by sysadmin and you could run
The white list file simple.xml was generated to support the limited keymaps only in ibus and my understanding is the original ibus owner was a Chinese and Chinese don't wish to have keymaps since they use US layouts normally and also the number of XKB keymaps is huge for UI. Since Also gnome-shell has enabled Let me think the issue later when I get time. |
Yes, that workaround has been mentioned on both the downstream bug reports. You mention g-c-c and gnome-shell, but the main problem here isn't with GNOME, is it? My understanding is that the problem is present on non-GNOME desktops where a user wants to be able to switch conveniently between IBus IMs and one or more XKB layouts, and finds that a desired XKB layout is not present.
Which are the criteria used for determining which keymaps are required? |
Right. they are not the problems when you use g-c-c but action items in my to-do list to fix the gaps between IBus configurations and GNOME ones and integrate the current emoji handling to GNOME.
The basic criteria is to minimize the simple.xml as much as possible. It means the original simple.xml would be enough and let sysadmin to update the file by site. |
There is a little short term to think the black list. |
simple.xml was generated by allowlist (whitelist) and it will be done by denylist (blacklist). BUG=#2153
Now simple.xml.in is replaced with simple.xml and modify runtest to copy simple.xml. BUG=#2153
Missed to handle layout_variant and also add latam layouts to denylist BUG=#2153
From Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/942245
BTW I'm just forwarding. I have no idea which specific keyboard variants are useful or not.
