ibus for Debian Osamu Aoki ========================================================================= ! Quick Guide to Setup IBus ========================================================================= * install im-config This is helper package to set up input method. If you still have im-switch, please remove it while installing im-config. * install ibus packages to suppor each platform optimally for GTK+2, GTK+3, Qt4, Clutter, EMACS. - Core ibus input package: ibus - Support package for each UI environment - GTK+2 IM module: ibus-gtk - GTK+3 IM module: ibus-gtk3 - Qt4 IM module: ibus-qt4 - Clutter IM module: ibus-clutter - EMACS (optional optimization): ibus-el [Note] These are optional. (Otherwise, xim is used) Installing them will improve user experience. Both ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 are required to set up usable system with GTK. - Support package for each IM engine client - Japanese, MOZC (best): ibus-mozc - Japanese, Anthy (good): ibus-anthy - Japanese, SKK (EMACS style): ibus-skk - Korean language: ibus-hangul - Traditional Chinese: ibus-chewing - Simplified Chinese: ibus-pinyin - Simplified Chinese (SUN): ibus-sunpinyin - Simplified Chinese (Google): ibus-googlepinyin - Vietnamese: ibus-unikey - Many table based input method: ibus-table* [Note] These are optional. But if you use any one of the listed language you need to install that one. - If other input method packages (fcitx, uim, ...) are installed, select ibus by executing im-config from a terminal window. (Usually not needed since this is default.) - Configure ibus by adding your desired input method engine. This configuration may be accessed by right clicking small keyboard icon on the top right corner. For example, I would chose MOZC for Japanese. - Relogin to the user account to refresh X session. -- Osamu Aoki , Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:00:22 +0000
