    1.5.29-rc2 was tagged on 9 Nov 2023 [1] and in did not contain "N_("CJK Unified Ideographs Extension I")," in src/ibusunicodegen.h [2].

    Commit 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae from 28 Feb 2023 introduced this change instead. It's the same person who tagged 1.5.29-rc2 and committed 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae which is typically an indication the maintainer tar'd their checked out git folder and accidentally included changes not get committed.

  • gtk+-2.24.33_2 in transaction breaks installed pkg `ibus-1.5.28_2
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 30 Jun 2023
    On https://github.com/ibus/ibus we can see gtk+ are probably only need for ibus-setup. I would like help to be sure i not miss any step.
  • The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 May 2023
    I also know input methods work great in Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome supports ibus.

    But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.

    After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182

    The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...

    Most people use fcitx5 with Sway because fcitx5 and Sway both support input method unstable v2. But the article explains that v2 is still not universally supported among wayland DEs, and that’s why it’s problematic.

  • Fedora 38 Beta Released
    2 projects | /r/Fedora | 14 Mar 2023
    The F38 beta is currently affected by two (mostly gaming-related) issues that you should be aware of: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2678 -> a lot of SDL-based games have their fullscreen mode broken. The issue is bisected. - https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480 -> Keyboard input sometimes gets stuck. Issue has already been identified and we're waiting for an ibus release.

  • Introducing the common input method
    1 project | /r/linux | 28 Jan 2023
    Also, to add to what u/Pizza-Driver said, it seems that ibus is not yet interoperable with the protocol used by Wayland display servers based on wlroots.
  • What does "Super+." do?
    1 project | /r/gnome | 6 Oct 2022
    I meant ctrl+., but it looks like ibus recently changed their emoji input shortcut back to super+., so the gtk emoji picker should be available via ctrl+. again without requiring changes: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575
  • Disable Super+Period default behavior
    1 project | /r/gnome | 31 Aug 2022
    Looks like it was changed here: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575
