IBus Bridge HotKeys

Now IBus bridge hotkeys feature is available with ibus-1.3.99.20110419-7 in Fedora 15 and rawhide.

It can define the IM trigger keys in each IBus engine and shows keyboard layouts and input methods in the same
list on IBus icon status menu.
So now trigger keys on ibus-setup is no longer used and the default is Control + Space.
If you'd like to add another trigger keys, you could define it with hotkeys tag in
/usr/share/ibus/component/*.xml .

If you find any problems, please file a bug with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora

I added a new feature of a bridge hotkey in Fedora 15 and rawhide. You need IBus 1.3.99.20110419-7 or later
for this feature.

# yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing ibus ibus-gnome3
# rpm -q ibus
ibus-1.3.99.20110419-7.fc15

If you focus on a text application, the default keyboard layout (en) is enabled below.
Enabled the default keyboard layout

And if you type Control + Space key, IBus switches the IBus engines from the default keyboard layout (en) to
the first input method (anthy) below.
Switch a keyboard layout to an input method with Control + Space key.

I just noticed this.  In 66-lohit-devanagari.conf, it says:

<alias>
   <family>Lohit Devanagari</family>
   <default>
     <family>sans-serif</family>
   </default>
</alias>

Does that mean this font declares itself an alias for sans-serif?  Seems 
a bit
rude.

AFAIK, The draft is under review and not approved so far. There are
serious criticism on the draft raised by community(eg:
http://wiki.smc.org.in/CDAC-Inscript-Critique)

Don't we need to wait till the standard is approved and it move out of
"Draft" status?

Even though the draft is under review and, has received critical notes
from the Malayalam community, doesn't an implementation allow the
flaws to be demonstrated ? An experiment is, in the end, an optimal
way to prove or, disprove a conjecture.

Are we releasing the experimental version(or implementations with flaws)
to public? It is good to have implementations to demonstrate the draft
standard. But if that is the case, it should be clearly mentioned in the
announcement. This kind of announcement misleading. Users will start using
and learning a wrong keymap.

I think I have mentioned almost everywhere that this release is based on 
draft released by CDAC. This draft is there since last few months and I 
see no further updates to that draft. Also, I am in need of some testing 
and feedback on real keymap usage on Linux.

Note that this is not a upstream release by m17n-lib project.

Regards,
Parag.
