Thanks for any suggestions or information.
The Ctrl+Shift+U feature is an ISO 14755 compliance by the GTK+ input
method. See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input
I suppose that the IBus input method does not support ISO 14755.
Since you use Fedora, have a look at the Fedora bugzilla on IBus ...
Good suggestion; I meant to check there also.
Now that I've done so, I don't see anything that looks terribly relevant.
To answer your question on who to blame; this should be something that
IBus should support in addition to the GTK+ library default input
method.
Normally you would use IBus if you want to write in complex scripts,
notably Asian scripts. For anything Latin-based you can use a layout
such as US English International, which allows to write characters
such as äǵẽëēę··÷ṩłeđŋ”“nµ»«þø²¹€½¾.
Yes, of course.
I'm not necessarily against using ibus, as long as it just does what I
need and is as transparent otherwise as the old method. That seems
rather inefficient, since the old method was working just fine without
any ibus at all, but as long as it works, who cares?
What I would not feel so good about is replacing a simple, useful,
working feature with yet another large, complex subsystem that I don't
need and don't understand (and don't want to).
I know that's part of Fedora's bleeding edge nature, so I'm not
complaining, just trying to find out what the plan is.
I guess I should have thought to hunt up the ibus list as well--duh!
Thanks for the info!
