Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. open chromium
  2. change the keyboard to Amharic

Expected behavior Write in amharic language

Screenshots or videos

ibus-typing-booster version? Open the ibus-typing-booster setup tool and click on the About button (Or check the version of the installed package, for example using rpm -q ibus-typing-booster on rpm based distribtions). 1.5.26 ibus version? ibus-1.5.26-8.fc36.x86_64

Distribution and version? For example Fedora 35, Ubuntu 20.04, FreeBSD 11.1, …

Desktop and version? For example Gnome 3, KDE, XFCE, i3, ...

Xorg or Wayland? Wayland

Additional context Hello @mike-fabian I have asked this question before, I am using Firefox for now because it works fine on that but I have on chromium no luck. It writes in English even though I change the keyboard.

That problem does not only affect Amharic and not only ibus-typing-booster, all ibus input method do not work in chromium in Wayland.

mike-fabian commented 2 years ago

A an alternative to chromium, you have not only firefox available, you could also use google-chrome. ibus input in google-chrome in Wayland works.

mike-fabian commented 2 years ago

A workaround for chromium on Wayland:

If you start chromium like this:

GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus chromium-browser --gtk-version=4

Then ibus input in chromium in Wayland works!

If you do that, I strongly recommend to also update ibus-typing-booster to the latest 2.16.1 version because that has an important fix when using the Gtk4 input module!

mike-fabian commented 2 years ago

Oh, and for the fix for the Gtk4 input module you also need ibus >= 1.5.27 which is not yet released ☹. On Fedora 36, you could use the latest ibus build from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/fujiwara/ibus/builds/ to get the fix for Gtk4.

Without the fix for Gtk4, input will basically work but some problems in the details remain like having to press ENTER or RETURN twice to get a new line.

Ok, thanks @mike-fabian

@mike-fabian hello there I have always have been using Firefox for a while and just tried chromium with GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus chromium-browser --gtk-version=4 it doesn't still work.

And non-related to this issue I don't how non-English languages are not working on the KDE Konsole terminal.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

For KDE on Xorg you might need to have QT_IM_MODULE=ibus in your environment.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

If you use KDE wayland on Fedora 37 with all updates, ibus should work, try to use 'im-chooser' to select ibus.

elhananjair commented 1 year ago

Yeah am already using ibus, but still not working and am on Fedora 37 with all thing updated Screenshot_20230305_173728

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

And do you have QT_IM_MODULE=ibus set in the environment?

If you type env | grep ibus in konsole, what do you get?

elhananjair commented 1 year ago

And do you have QT_IM_MODULE=ibus set in the environment?

yes

The environment variables look good. Your screenshot shows that it works in kate, but not in konsole?

What happens if you start another konsole from the first one? If that works, that would mean that these environment variables were not yet set when the first konsole started. This happened to me a few times when testing ibus on KDE.

In that case it should help to set these environment variables in ~/. profile to set them early enough.

Yes, you're totally right. I tried to open it and it worked, Chromium is still not working though.

I have already added that when you told me that once on another issue I think.

Screenshot_20230305_222351

have you noticed the password shows up as I typed in Konsole? just wanted to mention it

I just noticed that I haven't added QT_IM_MODULE=ibus yet, I just added and re-opened and no luck

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

Even restarting the KDE session doesn't do it? Then I don't know at the moment, it worked for me not long ago when I tested KDE on Fedora 37.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

If KDE Wayland doesn't work for you, you can also try KDE Wayland. Both did work for me with ibus when I tried recently. But there are usually more bugs on Wayland when ibus is used. And some features don't work on Wayland, for example the preedit on Wayland is always black and white, no colours in the preedit are possible on wayland. That makes some features of Typing Booster like inline completion very difficult to use on Wayland.

elhananjair commented 1 year ago

Even restarting the KDE session doesn't do it?

After I set that variable to ~/.profile I restarted my computer and it didn't work.

If KDE Wayland doesn't work for you, you can also try KDE Wayland you meant X11 right?

Yeah, I don't know why on every update there might be some slight change on Wayland which might break something. You are doing a good job though, thank you so much. I am ditching firefox that's why I started using chromium often, I have mentioned some issues regarding ibus-typing-booster on the Nextcloud office application and the problem only can be reproducible on Firefox while it works fine on chrome*.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

I tried to create a nextcloud test account to reproduce that issue but I could not create an account, the confirmation email never arrived. I will try that again when I am back from vacation.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

Oh, I wrote KDE Wayland twice in my previous to last comment, I wanted to say it might help to try KDE Xorg.

Yeah, I knew that I am just afraid of using Xord since it is not getting that much attention from the developers and every eye is on Wayland, let me wait a little bit more and I will consider using google-chrome instead.
