I've been using Elementary OS from quite a while now, but it keeps bothering me that Mozc doesn't feel as native as Ubuntu or Windows does when it comes to Input Managers - They don't cover up screen space.
This should be implemented because it ruins the whole User Experience, since the IBus input manager is natively supported by Elementary OS, as well as Mozc as the Japanese IME.
How it currently looks
How it could work / look like
e.g Hiragana input mode
A second menu would appear next to the "Japanese (Mozc)" option when clicked or hovered, giving the option to select different input modes.
The icon above would then update, indicating the input mode that is currently selected. Each input mode should have its own icon.
This is what it would look like when collapsed:
This input switching system should work on other languages as well, such as Korean or Chinese.
Thank you for your time, and please consider this issue, as it affects every person that uses Mozc or similar tools supported by IBus.
