Better multiple keyboard input methods/backends #1893

Open sc0ttj opened 3 years ago

Maybe we should think about creating a generic langpack-input-methods package, which contains fcitx, scim, and maybe some other stuff, to make it easier to install alternative input methods.

If we can build a package that works on lots of different versions of Puppy, it could live in the common32 and common64 repos.

If we need to build a specific version of the package for each Puppy we create, then maybe Woof-CE should build this package, just like it does with the other "langpack" PET packages...

See this thread from a user who struggled to get input working for them, and good reasons for wanting it (not just for themselves): https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=948

Also note the extra work done, and packages used, to make Chinese language pups: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=297
