== IBus ==
{{Docs_beat_closed}}
ibus can now provide both keymaps and input methods in the context menu, as we call them as ibus engines, and the we redefine the trigger key, Control + Space, to toggle the previous ibus engine and the next one instead of switching on and of an ibus engine. The new Control + Space would give the similar structure with Macintosh and ibus can show the keymaps and input methods in the same layer not to distinguish them. So we won't provide the status of IM engine off in the new ibus structure.<br />
We also provides a check button to switch back the previous Control Space on ibus-setup for Fedora 16 if you prefer. However we may remove the button in the future and like to gather the broad feedback.


ibus moves the almost trigger keys to each engine's configuration and provides Control + Space only now. E.g. Alt_R would be needed for the Hangul engines only, Zenkaku_hankaku would be needed for the Japanese engines only.
== Input Methods ==
* In ibus-libpinyin, press "Ctrl-Shift-d" to remove the remembered user phrase; and in double pinyin mode, press "I" to use lua script extension.
* XKB option ISO_Level3_Shift key is not available in control-center Keyboard panel, one needs to use 'gnome-tweak-tool' to enable 3rd level chooser key.
* {{package|ibus}} moved the ''emoji'' feature from ''IBus'' ''XKB'' engines to ''IBus'' ''GTK'' panel:
{{admon/note|| '' ''
* The shortcut key {{key press|Ctrl}}-{{key press|Shift}}-{{key press|e}} can be customized with <code>ibus-setup</code>
* The language of emoji annotation can be selected with <code>ibus-setup</code> besides English
* The emoji font can be selected with <code>ibus-setup</code> (You might like '''Noto Color Emoji''' font)
* All '''IBus''' engines can use the emoji feature from the panel
* The emoji dialog can output emojis with keyboard without mouse for CLI users
* Now {{key press|Ctrl}}-{{key press|Shift}}-{{key press|e}} is available in non-GNOME desktops since '''GNOME''' uses the own panel indicator instead of ''IBus'' ''GTK'' panel
* <code>ibus emoji</code> command is available for '''GNOME''' desktop and the shortcut of the command can be registered with gnome-control-center by manual

ibus-gnome3 can now provide the shell-themed icon, menu and IM lookup window instead of gtk-themed status icon. ibus-gnome3 also can show the text icon for each engine instead of image icon. Basically we'd think language ASCII prefixes (e.g. 'us', 'fr', 'de') for keymaps and multi-byte prefixes (e.g. '中', 'あ') for input methods.<br />
== New Packages ==
ibus-gnome3 is provided by ibus side for Fedora 16 as the intermitted solution. Our goal is to integrate the same feature in gnome-shell upstream but the current target is the time frame of Fedora 17 due to the development cycle.<br />
=== Fonts ===
See also [[Features/GnomeInputIntegration]].
* adobe-source-serif-pro-fonts : Source Serif Pro is a set of OpenType fonts to complement the Source Sans Pro family.
 
* oflb-coval-fonts : Derivation of other free of charge fonts
ibus can now provides XIM feature in both GTK, QT and X11 applications. Currently the default XIM is the US mode and also cedilla mode only if the language is pt-br.
* astigmatic-grand-hotel-fonts - Script retro style fonts
 
* typetype-molot-fonts - Display sans-serif fonts
ibus now allows engines to define XKB options.  For example, when a user switches to Indic engines provided by ibus-m17n, Alt_R is automatically mapped to AltGr.
=== Libraries ===
* sharpfont : Cross-platform FreeType bindings for .NET
eekboard on-screen keyboard can now be activated through IBus, in addition to desktop accessibility.  See [[https://fedorahosted.org/eekboard/wiki/TabletGuide|setup instruction for tablet PC]].
* libXfont2 - X11 font support library
 
* nodejs-os-locale : To get the system locale
ibus-gucharmap provides new Unicode input method, which supports in-place character-map view, character search based on Unicode names, and easy navigation with various keyboard shortcuts.
