Input Methods

  • $HOME/.xinputrc has been moved/renamed to $HOME/.config/imsettings/xinputrc.
  • $HOME/.imsettings.log has been moved/renamed to $HOME/.cache/imsettings/log.
  • default engine for Simplified Chinese has been changed to ibus-libpinyin. see Features/ibus-libpinyin for more details.
  • 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:
    • Assamese, Bengali, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu
    • English, Danish, French
  • im-chooser is restricted to work on GNOME3 now. the users are encouraged to use the new feature in gnome-control-center, to configure the input method on GNOME3.
    1. click on the name at the upper right corner of the panel.
    2. select System Settings from the menu
    3. click on the Region & Language icon
    4. open Input Sources tab
    5. click on + icon to add any input sources
    6. choose an input source you want to add
  • If there are no input sources in the list which you want to use, try the following command on the terminal and restart the desktop:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
  • There may be no shortcut key to turn on/off the input method by default. you can enable it as the following steps:
    1. 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.
    2. click on the Switch to next source, press [Control] + [space].
