Ibus-table cangjie default for zh_HK

Summary

Make ibus-table cangjie the default input method for zh_HK (Hongkong) locale.

Owner


Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora Linux 36
  • Last updated: 2022-01-10
  • FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

Currently, ibus-cangjie is the default input method for zh_HK in Fedora. ibus-cangjie is not actively maintained anymore upstream. ibus-table and the cangjie tables in ibus-table-chinese are actively maintained and can replace ibus-cangjie.

Feedback

Benefit to Fedora

A better input experience for users of the zh_HK locale.

Scope

  • Proposal owners:

The langtable package has data about default input methods. Change this data. But the data in langtable is currently apparently not used by gnome-initial setup. The list of default input methods used by gnome-initial-setup us stored in 

libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h

Currently there is the following default input method for zh_HK locale: 

static DefaultInputSource default_input_sources[] =
{
   ...
   { "zh_HK",    "ibus",         "cangjie" },
   ...
}

Here, cangjie would need to be replaced with table:cangjie5.

fedora-comps needs to be updated to install ibus-table-chinese-cangjie by default.
