|
|
|
in ibus-setup, ibus itself should be fully functional. If you want to use

If you use qt applications, then you probably want ibus-qt as well.

To enable ibus put the following lines in your ~/.bashrc file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
|
|
|
|
|
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
|
|
|
|
|
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ibus is pre-configured to autostart on xdg-compliant desktop environments
|
|
|
|
|
if these settings are present. On other desktop environments you can add
|
|
|
|
|
"ibus-autostart" to the respective autostart settings.
