How to test

• Select m17n input method in the Gnome panel
• Type something into gedit
• Check result

Expected Results

• Input method “latn-pre (m17n)”:
  • Input typed ➡️ result
  • " a ➡️ ä
  • ' a ➡️ á
  • / a ➡️ å
  • " s ➡️ ß

• Input method “latn-post (m17n)”:
  • Input typed ➡️ result
  • a " ➡️ ä
  • a ' ➡️ á
  • a / ➡️ å
  • s / ➡️ ß

• Input method “math-latex (m17n)”:
  • Input typed ➡️ result
  • If the version of m17n-db is >= 1.8.4, a \ prefix is needed by default, like this:
  • \ a l p h a ➡️ α
  • \ i n ␠ ➡️ ∈
  • \ i n t ➡️ ∫
  • Note: ␠ is the space key
  • It is possible to disable the backslash prefix in the settings, then it works like this:
  • a l p h a ➡️ α
  • i n ␠ ➡️ ∈
  • i n t ➡️ ∫

• Input method “vi-telex (m17n)” (behaves just like ibus-bogo and ibus-unikey!):
  • Input typed ➡️ result
  • K h o o n g ␠ c o s ␠ g i f ␠ q u i s ␠ h o w n ␠ d d o o c j ␠ l a a p j ␠ t u w j ␠ d o ➡️ Không có gì quí hơn độc lập tự do
  • Note: ␠ is the space key

• Input method “sayura (m17n)” (behaves *exactly* like ibus-sayura!):
  • Input typed ➡️ result
  • i n W d R i y ➡️ ඉන්‍ද්‍රිය
  • t a k W s H N ➡️ තාක්‍ෂණ
  • t a k w s H N ➡️ තාක්ෂණ
