= System Wide Change: IBus Unicode Typing = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/IBus_Unicode_Typing Change owner(s): * Takao Fujiwara <fujiwara [at] redhat [dot] com> IBus core provides an Emoji dialog which users can type emoji annotations and output the emoji character using IBus (E.g. Typing "football" shows U+26BD). The proposal is the dialog also supports to type Unicode names (E.g. Typing "copyright sign" shows U+00A9). == Detailed Description == IBus core provides an Emoji dialog and it can be launched with Ctrl-Shift-e shortcut key in non-GNOME desktop and `ibus emoji` command is available for GNOME desktop [1]. Users can select an emoji in emoji lists on the emoji dialog or type an emoji annotation in an input entry on the emoji dialog and output the selected emoji using IBus. The proposal is that emoji dialog also supports to type Unicode names in the input entry and output the selected Unicode character. E.g. Typing "copyright sign" shows U+00A9 [1] because gnome-shell has its owned keyboard indicator instead of /usr/libexec/ibus-ui-gtk3 and GTK itself also has the similar emoji dialog and the emoji implementation is under the consideration in GNOME. == Scope == * Proposal owners: IBus core will include the dictionary of Unicode names * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7255 * List of deliverables: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
