Summary

Owner

• Name: Mike Fabian
• Email: <mfabian@redhat.com>

Current status

• Targeted release: Fedora Linux 36
• Last updated: 2022-01-10
• FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
• Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
• Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

Currently, ibus-cangjie is the default input method for zh_HK in Fedora. ibus-cangjie is not actively maintained anymore upstream. ibus-table and the cangjie tables in ibus-table-chinese are actively maintained and can replace ibus-cangjie.

Benefit to Fedora

A better input experience for users of the zh_HK locale.

Scope

• Proposal owners:

The langtable package has data about default input methods. Change this data. But the data in langtable is currently apparently not used by gnome-initial setup. The list of default input methods used by gnome-initial-setup us stored in

libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h

Currently there is the following default input method for zh_HK locale:

static DefaultInputSource default_input_sources[] =
{
   ...
   { "zh_HK",    "ibus",         "cangjie" },
   ...
}

Here, "cangjie" would need to be replaced with "table:cangjie5"

fedora-comps needs to be updated to install ibus-table-chinese-cangjie by default.
