With wayland we have text-input protocols that have near universal toolkit support. What does ibus bring that isn't duplicating that effort? Could you please provide a simple example code to use Wayland text-input protocols for Qt applications? I think the text-input protocol is closed in GTK and Mutter in GNOME and reported the issue here. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I think you can reproduce the issue. It's built into al Qt. GTK apps has text input support. |
Hi, I'm a maintainer of IBus input method framework. Wayland does not provide the input cursor position to the application clients and IBus cannot show the candidate popup window at the cursor position. Currently IBus is available with %{_libdir}/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so Probably I think it would be good to implement IBus InputContext in Plasma Wayland compositor so that compositor provides the correct cursor position to ibus-daemon and systemsettings5 provides the IBus input method engines likes GNOME desktop.
