Current status

• Targeted release: Fedora Linux 39
• Last updated: 2023-08-21
• devel thread
• FESCo issue: #3029
• Tracker bug: #2233243
• Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

• ibus-anthy already has the icon but it wasn't indicated in the metainfo. Also screenshots and keywords are updated.
• ibus-anthy will convert the Japanese era and "2023" mutually
• ibus-anthy determines a clicked item on the candidate window but also will commit the clicked item on the candidate window in case of enabling the OSK(On-Screen Keyboard) mode in GNOME Wayland.

Benefit to Fedora

The metainfo data is updated within the ibus-anthy pacakge, Japanese era is updated in a ibus-anthy dictionary file, the OSK mode is available only if the OSK is enabled and ibus-anthy switches the candidate mode.

How To Test

1. Enable ibus-anthy
2. Run gnome-text-editor
3. Type "２０２３" or "れいわ５" and space keys
4. The Japanese era and 2023 is converted mutually

1. Enable OSK and ibus-anthy
2. Run gnome-text-editor
3. Click "a" and space x 2 keys in OSK and show the candidate window
4. Click a candidate string on the candidate window
5. The selected candidate string is committed in gnome-text-editor

User Experience

The metainfo data is relative with gnome-software and I hope the ibus-anthy section will be updated. Japanese era has been rarely used in Japanese documents and the ibus-anthy conversion will be useful. The OSK usability will be enhanced with the mouse.
