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" },
  ...

} `
