* <code>$HOME/.xinputrc</code> has been moved to <code>$HOME/.config/imsettings/xinputrc</code>.
* <code>$HOME/.imsettings.log</code> has been moved to <code>$HOME/.cache/imsettings/log</code>.
* The default engine for Simplified Chinese has been changed to '''ibus-libpinyin''' (see [[Features/ibus-libpinyin]] for more details).
* On the GNOME Desktop, '''im-chooser''' is now deprecated except in fallback mode, and with non-ibus input methods, since GNOME 3.6 supports ibus as the default input method system.  Users should now use gnome-control-center to setup their input methods:
*# click on the user menu at the upper right corner of the panel.
*# select ''System Settings'' from the menu
*# click on the ''Region & Language'' icon
*# open the ''Input Sources'' tab
*# click on ''+'' icon to add input sources
*# choose one or more input source you want to add
* If you can't find an input source in the list you are looking for, try running the following command in a terminal and restart the desktop:
*:<pre>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true</pre>
* There may be no shortcut key to turn on/off the input method by default. you can enable it with the following steps:
*# click the ''shortcut settings'' link in the ''Input Sources'' tab on ''System Settings'' or click the ''Keyboard'' icon at the top and the ''Shortcuts'' tab, the ''Typing'' section at the left pane.
*# click on the ''Switch to next source'', press '''[Control]''' + '''[space]'''.
* If no input source is configured by default for your native language, you can add it using the above steps as a workaround.  Here is a table of input sources corresponding to the input method engines:
  {| border=1
  |-
  | ''Input source name''
  | ''Input method engine''
  |-
  | Chinese (Chewing)
  | ibus-chewing

*ibus-libpinyin provides a new input frontend for Simplified Chinese providing an intelligent pinyin input method that speeds up the user input of Chinese characters. It can replace ibus-pinyin which is also still available in Fedora.
== Input Methods ==
* In ibus-libpinyin, press "Ctrl-Shift-d" to remove the remembered user phrase; and in double pinyin mode, press "I" to use lua script extension.
* XKB option ISO_Level3_Shift key is not available in control-center Keyboard panel, one needs to use 'gnome-tweak-tool' to enable 3rd level chooser key.
* {{package|ibus}} moved the ''emoji'' feature from ''IBus'' ''XKB'' engines to ''IBus'' ''GTK'' panel:
{{admon/note|| '' ''
* The shortcut key {{key press|Ctrl}}-{{key press|Shift}}-{{key press|e}} can be customized with <code>ibus-setup</code>
* The language of emoji annotation can be selected with <code>ibus-setup</code> besides English
* The emoji font can be selected with <code>ibus-setup</code> (You might like '''Noto Color Emoji''' font)
* All '''IBus''' engines can use the emoji feature from the panel
* The emoji dialog can output emojis with keyboard without mouse for CLI users
* Now {{key press|Ctrl}}-{{key press|Shift}}-{{key press|e}} is available in non-GNOME desktops since '''GNOME''' uses the own panel indicator instead of ''IBus'' ''GTK'' panel
* <code>ibus emoji</code> command is available for '''GNOME''' desktop and the shortcut of the command can be registered with gnome-control-center by manual
* Furthermore info: https://desktopi18n.wordpress.com/2017/05/29/ibus-1-5-16-is-released/

* '''ibus-typing-booster''' is a predictive input method for the ibus platform. It predicts complete words based on partial input. One can then simply select the desired word from a list of suggestions and improve one's typing speed and spelling. '''ibus-typing-booster''' currently supports the following Asian and European languages:
