== Input methods ==
Users of input-methods upgrading from earlier versions of Fedora may need to install ibus-gtk3 or GTK3 versions of their GTK immodules if available, in order for input-methods to continue working normally on their desktop.
 
im-chooser (via imsettings) now allows to fully disable input-methods for users that do not need X locale compose support (using XIM): so Unicode input with Control+Shift+u works again in GTK applications by default when not using input-methods like ibus.
 
ibus-pinyin now have a lua script extension support, it will try to load lua script in ~/.ibus/pinyin/base.lua or /usr/share/ibus-pinyin/base.lua. Press the 'i' key in single pinyin mode, it will trigger the lua script extension, and show the available lua script function input helpers in the candidate list.

General Configuration

System locale and keyboard layout settings are configured using the localectl utility. Read man localectl for instructions on adjusting the system locale.

Input Methods

  • ibus
    • ibus panel icon now shows the prefix of language names instead of layout names in non-GNOME desktop.
    • Users' ibus input method engines always run when they log into GNOME desktop so that they switch the engines quickly without waiting for the engine launching time.
    • ibus input method engines now are hidden on the lock screen in GNOME desktop.
    • ibus implements a special panel icon for KDE5 since KDE5 no longer enable GtkStatusIcon by default.

ibus panel icon for KDE5
ibus checks XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable to show GtkStatusIcon or KDE5 icon so if you don't use login managers likes gdm but run startkde directly, you need to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP by manual.
  • Minglish, a new Marathi language m17n input method is added.

Fonts

  • New Fonts
    • google-noto-sans-oriya-fonts, google-noto-sans-oriya-ui-fonts

Others

  • gnome-characters - Characters is a simple utility application to find and insert unusual characters.
  • New Locales
    • bh_IN (Bhili language locale for India ), ce_RU (Chechen locale for RUSSIAN FEDERATION), raj_IN (Rajasthani locale for India) and tu_IN (Tulu locale for India)
