An XIM spot has no height, so a popup that flips above it at the bottom
of the screen ended on the baseline and covered the line being typed.
The spot now stands for the row above it, one popup row tall, as GTK
and IBus carets carry their line height; below the spot nothing moves.
win.c and xim.c each iterated the setup's roots to find the screen
xcb_connect had chosen; xcb-util, already linked through imdkit, has
xcb_aux_get_screen for that.
Backspace undid a keystroke: な became ん, かんじ became かんj, きゃ
became ky. Like every Japanese IME it now deletes the last kana as
shown — な goes, かんじ becomes かん, きゃ becomes き — while a romaji
letter that never became kana still goes one at a time. Tab stepped
through candidates in a search and committed in Japanese; it steps
through them there too, with Space, and Shift+Tab steps back.
GTK 4's IBus module, and GTK 3's with IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE=1, waits for
its ProcessKeyEvent reply and cannot take signals meanwhile; since IBus
1.5.29 it then reads the PostProcessKeyEvent property for what the key
produced. strans answered that read with an error, so every key logged
a warning and a commit made by a key that passed on arrived after the
key: 한 and a comma became ,한. A context that sets
EffectivePostProcessKeyEvent now has its commits and preedits held
during the key and handed over as the (yv) list IBus defines.
An SKK dictionary's ";;" header carries its license notice, which
LICENSES/README.md relies on for kanji.dict, and skk2ktrans dropped
every ";;" line: a re-import as map/README describes lost the grant.
The leading comment block is kept now. README's regenerate-and-verify
recipe omitted mktelex.py although verify-map checks its output; and
the Dockerfile set a shell variable named egrep in plan9's config that
9c never reads, calling egrep by name.
A Compose sequence whose result is more than one character has no
keysym, so xkb_compose_state_get_one_sym gave nothing and the result was
lost; the UTF-8 the compose state holds is committed instead. Clients
that ask for a StatusNone style — fcitx5 offers them — failed to create
an input context; the three preedit styles come in both status flavours
now. IBus SetCursorLocation returned an error for a negative width or
height that nothing reads and no client ever waits for.
Ctrl+E and Ctrl+H gave no sign until a key produced candidates; with
nothing pending the popup even went away. An empty search now shows
☺ or 漢 in the popup, so the user knows the next keys are a query.
The emoji search folded the keys for its lookup and then showed and
committed the folded copy: SMILE became smile in the text. And it
showed the transliteration only while that alone matched, so a Korean
query flipped between 웃 and key soup as it grew. Now the query shown
is the keys while they match anything, else what they type in the
current language, both as typed; only the lookups fold. Space in a
search picks the highlighted result as Enter does, instead of adding a
space no alias needs.
半角/全角, ひらがな/カタカナ, 変換, and 無変換 committed the reading and did
nothing, like any function key. They now stand for what a Japanese
keyboard means by them: toggling Japanese and English, switching kana
modes, converting (or turning Japanese on), and turning it off; the
Korean keys became a switch of the same shape. The keypad's arrows
and page keys, with NumLock off, fold onto the plain ones as its Enter
and Tab already did.
Ctrl+Shift+V switched to Vietnamese and ate the key, in every terminal
where it pastes; Ctrl+Shift+T and N opened no tab. Only a plain
Ctrl+letter is a strans command now; a chord with Shift, Alt, or Super
commits what is pending and passes, as Alt and Super chords already did.
Caps Lock still works: the keysym's case never mattered.
Ctrl+H took the pending syllable as the query, but the keys typed after
it started a composition of their own: gk, Ctrl+H, s showed 하ㄴ, and r,
Ctrl+H, k showed ㄱㅏ. transstr now composes from a pending text, so
the search goes on where the syllable left off. Escape ended the search
and dropped the syllable it had taken; it puts it back as pending text.
Every Japanese IME converts a reading to Katakana on demand; strans made
the user switch to the Katakana mode and type again. Space now adds
the reading in Katakana after the dictionary candidates, so a loanword
the dictionary lacks converts with one Space and Enter, and 漢字 users
still get 漢字 first.
0 committed the reading only while candidates showed; without them it
typed a 0 as well. It now commits any Japanese reading, the counterpart
of 1-9 picking candidates, as the README always said.
emoji.src was a seed of thirty emoji. cldr2emoji now generates it from
Unicode's emoji-test.txt (Emoji 17.0) and CLDR 48.2.0's annotations: the
1914 fully-qualified emoji without their skin-tone variants, each with
its names and keywords in the three languages, so that a search finds
what fcitx5's emoji picker finds. The data is under the Unicode License,
added to LICENSES.
A Korean keyboard sends Hangul and Hangul_Hanja for its two extra keys;
they did nothing but end the composition. Now 한/영 toggles Korean and
English and 한자 opens the Hanja search, by standing in for Ctrl+S,
Ctrl+T, and Ctrl+H, as fcitx5-hangul binds them.
A pending Hangul syllable is real text, and Escape is what vi users
press to leave insert mode; eating it and dropping the syllable served
nobody. fcitx5-hangul commits and passes any key it does not consume,
Escape included; do the same for Korean and Telex. A Japanese reading
is still cancelled: there Escape is the IME's own key.
A complete Japanese reading showed its candidates with the first row
highlighted, yet Enter committed the reading unless the user had moved
to a candidate: the highlight lied. Now sel is -1 while nothing is
chosen, and it alone says what Enter commits; candidatechosen goes.
Every key that ends a composition — Enter, Tab, a language switch, a
special key, a modifier chord, typing on — now commits the chosen
candidate through one flush; before, only Enter and Tab did, and Ctrl+S
after choosing 漢字 committed かんじ.
Space in a Japanese mode is the conversion key, as in every other
Japanese IME: it steps through the candidates (Shift+Space backwards,
both wrapping) and commits a reading that has none, without typing a
space. Backspace and Escape on a chosen candidate go back to the
reading first. Tab in a search wraps through the same cyclekouho.
reset() no longer forgets the caret: a chosen candidate confirmed by
typing on would otherwise redraw the next reading at the pointer.
The popup was 32-pixel rows whatever the display; next to 2x application
text it was small. Its metrics now scale with the daemon's GDK_SCALE,
the setting the applications use.
Ctrl+H committed the syllable being composed and opened an empty search,
so converting 한 meant typing it twice; the pending syllable now seeds the
query. Backspace on an already empty search ended it and then reached the
application, deleting a character; it now only ends the search.
Enter with a pending syllable committed it and stopped there, so a chat
message needed Enter twice; Korean input methods commit and pass the key
on. Japanese keeps consuming the key that confirms a reading or a chosen
candidate, as Japanese input methods do.
The Dockerfile installs valgrind and the ld.so debug info it needs, but
no target used them; docker-valgrind runs the unit suite under it, so
the dependency is visible and the run is one command.
bench.sh copied ipcpath() and the IBus address-file discovery into shell,
although the benchmark client only speaks IPC; retrying the client itself
is the readiness test. It also forwarded arguments to a daemon that takes
exactly one. README claimed Enter confirms the selection, but Enter and Tab
commit the reading unless a candidate was moved to.
