Does ibus-typing-booster look like one input support for > each supported language, or does it look like a single input source? It looks like a single input source. Here are some screen shots how to add it using the GNOME "Region & Language" panel: http://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html#adding-gnome It is listed under “Other” in the GNOME "Region & Language" panel input source selection. That is because it use “<language>t</language>” here: $ /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml <engines> <engine> <name>typing-booster</name> <longname>Typing Booster</longname> <language>t</language> <license>GPL</license> <author>Mike FABIAN <mfabian@xxxxxxxxxx>, Anish Patil <anish.developer@xxxxxxxxx></author> <icon>/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/icons/ibus-typing-booster.svg</icon> <layout>default</layout> <description>A completion input method to speedup typing.</description> <symbol>🚀</symbol> <setup>/usr/libexec/ibus-setup-typing-booster</setup> <icon_prop_key>InputMode</icon_prop_key> </engine> </engines> At the moment, ibus supports only one language in the “<language>t</language>” tag. And as ibus-typing-booster supports many languages, “<language>en</language>” does not seem right, it would look like it supports only English. So only “t” for “Other” seems appropriate at the moment. But it is a bit hard to find in “Other” in the GNOME "Region & Language" panel. When ibus-typing-booster is first used, it defaults to dictionaries and m17n-input-methods appropriate to the locale it is first started in. /usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/engine/itb_util.py contains the defaults, for example for Marathi it has: LOCALE_DEFAULTS = { ... 'mr_IN': {'inputmethods': ['mr-inscript2', 'NoIme'], 'dictionaries': ['mr_IN', 'en_GB']}, ... So when the locale is mr_IN.UTF-8 while ibus-typing-booster is first started, it defaults to the two input methods 'mr-inscript2' (a Marathi input method) and 'NoIme' (that is direct keyboard input, useful for English) and the dictionaries for mr_IN and for en_GB. This can be changed in the setup tool of ibus-typing-booster, one can choose up to 10 input methods and 10 dictionaries at the same time. > Thanks! > Owen > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@xxxxxxxxxx> 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
