Re: scim keyboard problem under fc6



François Patte writes:
I have a problem with scim keyboard: the default keyboard is
European/French and whenever I do not use scim for another language,
there is no problem *but* if I switch on scim to use another input
language the keyboard falls back to an english keyboard...

example: I use my default French keyboard and when I press the "a" key I
get the letter "a" on my screen.

Suppose that I switch to hindu keyboard, and select itrans input, when I
press the "a" key I get a "q" character (in hindi) on my screen.... So,
if I want the hindi letter "a", I need to press the "q" key of my
keyboard... If I want the hindi "m" letter, I need to press the "," of
my keyboard! And so on.

What's wrong? this did not happen uner fc4! I run now fc6.

I think this is a scim-m17n bug. Though it may not be easy to fix
since the desired behaviour may depend on the map you want to use:
ie perhaps for itrans and phonetic maps one may want to keep "a" on
the A key but for some maps it may be more desirable to preserve the
layout geometry as far as possible rather than the key map.

Some fix a bit related to this went into scim-0.2.1-1.fc6 but it may not
be completely fixed yet.

Please file a bug in bugzilla under scim-m17n and we will try to look into it in more detail.

Thanks, Jens
