[BUG] On Debian .c does not modify preceding character, only prints ऍ #85

Closed aria-dos closed 2 months ago

aria-dos commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug According to the ITRANS unicode table and documentation, the key combination .c is supposed to modify the character preceding it it (e.g. ka.c -> कॅ , aa.c -> ऑ ), however when I try this, I get कऍ and आऍ respectively. Inputting .c thus returns ऍ , rather than modifying the previous character.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on ibus tray icon.
  2. Click on 'Hindi - hi-itrans (m17n)'.
  3. Type 'aa.c' on US-style keyboard.
  4. See it return 'आऍ'.

Expected behavior I expected input 'aa.c' to return 'ऑ'.

ibus-m17n version? ibus-m17n version is 1.4.19-1

m17n-db versions? m17n-db version is 1.8.0-5

ibus version? ibus version is 1.5.27

Distribution and version? Debian version is Debian 12 (bookworm)

@aria-dos

This is not a problem of ibus-m17n.

It is a problem of the m17n input method hi-itrans.mim.

See here: https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/m17n/m17n-db.git/tree/MIM/hi-itrans.mim

To get कॅ you can type k.c instead of ka.c. To get ऑ you can type o.c instead of aa.c.

It seems to work like that when using hi-itrans.mim, mr-itrans.mim, and mr-gamabhana.mim.

Whether this is good or bad I have no opinion about. It seems to disagree with the links you gave.

But as this is not an ibus-m17n problem, it is better to discuss this on the m17n mailing list. On that mailing list, the people who wrote or last edited hi-itrans.mim, mr-itrans.mim, and mr-gamabhana.mim can give their opinion and maybe improve something.

Here is the home page of the m17n project: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/m17n/ And here is the mailing list: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/m17n-list

I did ask this question here on the mailing list:

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/m17n-list/2024-09/msg00000.html

And I am closing this issue here.

I made a new m17n-db release:

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/m17n-list/2024-09/msg00003.html

It contains fixes by विश्वासो वासुकिजः (Vishvas Vasuki) in hi-itrans.mim which should fix the problems you reported here.
