Ibus-table cangjie default for zh_HK
Summary
Make ibus-table cangjie the default input method for zh_HK (Hongkong) locale.
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.
Feedback
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.

- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with Objectives:
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Nothing should happen when upgrading from a previous version of Fedora. If a user used ibus-cangjie before the upgrade, they will still use it after the upgrade. This change proposal only changes the default input method for zh_HK locale for new installs or new user accounts.
How To Test
Do a new installation of Fedora 30 in zh_HK (Chinese Hongkont) locale.
The package ibus-table-chinese-cangjie should be installed.
Log into Gnome. See what input method is suggested by default by gnome-initial-setup.
User Experience
Less buggy and better maintained cangjie input method.
Dependencies
