Hi @pickfire, |
Hi @madblobfish |
@hukacode I do not know if this will help you, because I do not use a greeter as most others do. Anyways, here are the parts that made it work for me (I somehow needed a restart, sway restart might be sufficient, idk):
I did not find or remember anything else I had to configure. But some applications do not play well with it, for example sublime-text3 once worked, but is currently broken for me (I think this might have something to do with the newer protocol in sway). kitty has a configuration option to use ibus, but I prefer the default. Firefox where I need to write the most just works. I can't provide more help, good luck. グッドラック PS: fixed formatting bug. Also here's how the guy who started sway does it: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/dotfiles/tree/master/item/.config/sway/config#L146 |
Hi @madblobfish Thank you for your supporting. I really appreciate it. Best regards, |
@madblobfish this would be awesome to add to wiki or docs or |
@jedahan Feel free to do so |
In my case it works for GTK and Qt programs, but not "generic" programs, such as the Also, ibus has a very useful feature of adding emoji with suggestions, as well as typing charaters by their Unicode value. (Shift+Super+e and Shift+Super+u in my case). Has anyone found a way to use those with Wayland/Sway? |
@lockywolf I think foot and alacritty use a newer input protocol so ibus does not work there. I tried xfce4-terminal and ibus does work. |
For me at least, I've followed all the configs listed in various threads and still can't get a working configuration. Perhaps there's a specific issue with Pinyin? I have this same issue mentioned in 2019:
I've also noticed the same behavior when trying to use key combinations to switch between IMEs. Oddly enough, it does work on Also worth mentioning, it's not a Wayland issue as everything works flawlessly under Gnome. |
No, it is deceptively inaccurate that everything works flawlessly under GNOME: GNOME supports IBus specifically, not IMEs generally. Similarly, beware that some applications experienced working may be due to bypassing Wayland either via GTK, Qt, or Xwayland. GNOME support is implemented through Wayland input-method v1. Overview of involved Wayland protocols IBus issue and draft code with plea for help Hints on escape sequences to enable IBus in foot, supported since v1.6.0 (as build-time option, so check that your build of foot actually supports it before pulling hair out). |
For interacting with IMEs each environment may need additional support for placing its popup dialog - e.g. Sway may(be still) need the patch mentioned here |
IBus panel is not yet supported for Wayland and should be disabled, instead switching engine using explicit calls to |
I guess not a lot of people think about this: IMEs aren't only for asian text, you also get a lot of extras like emoji support without every GUI having to implement their own version of it (it makes a lot more sense as an IME, you also get this on phones with whatever software keyboards you install there...). With fcitx5's quickphrase I can just hit a hotkey and type |
That patch works for most applications, but a notable exception is electron-based applications electron/electron#33662 |
IME, Input Method Editor is used for asian to enter text.
There are a few IME but I think fcitx5 supports it but there are still issues. I think ibus and fcitx does not support wayland yet.
From what I recall, freedesktop have input proposal unstable input method protocol v1 but I don't think anyone is using that.
Sway have their own input method protocol v2 which is not in freedesktop but I think that is what others implements.
I haven't been keeping up with this but I don't think wayland is usable yet for anyone that needs IME.
