How does one go about using one of these blacklisted engines? In particular, I frequently use m17n:zh:pinyin. It is not "a toy" as it is probably the easiest way to input pinyin. It is not meant to support Han characters. It is meant for writing out pronunciation, including the tones.

Doesn't ibus-pinyin have that feature? Anyway I think that I'll extend ibus-setup-m17n (the setup UI of ibus-m17n) to allow users to select blacklisted engines. As a workaround, you could always edit /usr/share/ibus-m17n/setup/default.xml.

Allowing selection of blacklisted engines would be great. If there were a way to just add a config file in ~/.m17n/ to overwrite the default values that would be great.

I have tried poking around with most of the options in the preferences window, but I can't find this feature in ibus-pinyin. (But that doesn't mean it isn't there).

Your suggestion to edit /usr/share/ibus-m17n/setup/default.xml worked. But instead I decided to create a file called ~/.m17n/zh-mypinyin.mim with the following content:

;; zh-mypinyin.mim -- Input method for Chinese Pinyin

(input-method zh mypinyin)

(description "Input method for Chinese Pinyin characters.Note that it's not for inputting Han characters.")

(title "MyPinYin")

(include (zh pinyin) map vowel)
(include (zh pinyin) map tone)

(state
 (init
  (vowel (shift select)))
 (select
  (tone (shift init))))

That felt better than editing a file created by the package. That way my change won't get overwritten by an upgrade.
