Description fujiwara 2022-05-04 05:48:48 UTC
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.

With wayland we have text-input protocols that have near universal toolkit support. What does ibus bring that isn't duplicating that effort?
Comment 2 fujiwara 2022-05-04 15:29:11 UTC
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.

I think you can reproduce the issue.

It's built into al Qt. GTK apps has text input support.
