Question #127542 “Change keyboard layout change” : Questions : Ubuntu

Revision history for this message

XKB only supports 1-1 mapping, hence a phonetic layout is the only option with XKB. Wijesekera requires surrounding text support or at a minimum a pre-edit buffer.

Have you tried using the m17n Wijesekera implementation which is available via IBus and SCIM?

That can not be correct. XKB only supports 1-1 mappings. How did you
come to that conclusion? Which versions of Ubuntu and Fedora are you
comparing? Can you describe the steps you take to reproduce your claim?

The Wijesekera keyboard implementation is included in m17n-db. It is
available in Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=268
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/m17n-db.html
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/m17n-db

You have been unclear how you are activating the m17n Wijesekera input
method. IBus or SCIM are required. Perhaps you are simply not familiar
with which packages need to be installed. For instructions, refer to:
http://sinhala.sourceforge.net/

Harshula

1) So, you are saying you already have Wijesekera layout working
correctly on Ubuntu and Fedora?

2) Let me reiterate, a Wijesekera layout can NOT be implemented in XKB.
And gnome-keyboard-properties lists XKB layouts.

3) I have already asked: "Can you describe the steps you take to
reproduce your claim?" Can you now list the steps you take on Fedora 13
to enable a Wijesekera layout from gnome-keyboard-properties?

> google sinhala input method vertual keyboard is sls 1134.

4) Are you referring to:
http://www.google.com/webelements/virtualkeyboard/
If so, presumably it uses Javascript, not XKB.

> so why ubuntu keyboard preferences option use phonetic keyboard.

5) Fedora 13 keyboard preferences also uses the phonetic layout.

Harshula
