Summary: RFE: support reloading Xmodmap

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750484

           Summary: RFE: support reloading Xmodmap
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: ibus
        AssignedTo: tfujiwar(a)redhat.com
        ReportedBy: dueno(a)redhat.com
         QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: tfujiwar(a)redhat.com,
                    i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
                    shawn.p.huang(a)gmail.com
    Classification: Fedora
      Story Points: ---
              Type: ---


Description of problem:

When a keyboard layout is changed with gnome-settings-daemon, ~/.Xmodmap is
automatically re-applied through libgnomekbd. cf.
http://blogs.gnome.org/sudaltsov/2010/10/13/xmodmap-and-gnome/
http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnomekbd/tree/libgnomekbd/gkbd-keyboard-co...

However, with ibus-xkb, that file is ignored and the previous Xmodmap setting
is cleared each time when I switch between XKB engines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.4.0-6.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
(with the default Japanese installation of F16 RC2)
1. put the following content in ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 49 = Escape
2. xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
3. run xev and type Zenkaku_Hankaku key
4. select Thai XKB engine from the IME menu, then back to Japanese XKB engine
5. run xev and type Zenkaku_Hankaku key

Actual results:
xev reports "keycode 49 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)" on step 3, and "keycode
49
(keysym 0xff2a, Zenkaku_Hankaku)" on step 5.

Expected results:
xev should report "keycode 49 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)" on both step 3 and 5.

Additional info:
This feature would be important on Japanese desktop, since quite a few people
map Zenkaku_Hankaku to Escape.

Thanks for that pointer of the codes.
Probably I'd update ibus.xkblayout.set_layout for Fedora for the short term.
Unfortunately I think this needs to be called after set_layout is called.

I'm also thinking to port ibus.xkblayout to ibus-xkb for Fedora 17:
https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus-xkb
Then ibus-xkb also needs to have the similar implementation.

BTW, we also need to implement a config file similar with ~/.XCompose .

Created attachment 532262
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=532262
Patch for xkblayout.py.in

The attachment is the tentative patch.
Now setting xkb & xmodmap uses the async function.
I also will update ibus-gnome3.

ibus and ibus-gjs are updated:
https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus-gjs/commit/b1e2501cd62707c07cdf18dde6a8...

Now I added .xmodmaprc and .Xmodmaprc files too.

However probably I don't recommend to use .xmodmap*. E.g. if .xmodmap replaces
Ctrl and Caps_Lock and you switch engines by Control + Space, you will see an
error from xmodmap command since you're pressing Control key.
So you need to release the Control key soon after you type Control + Space.
We could use XKB option ctrl:swapcaps instead.

Thanks for the quick update.  It basically works.  However, if I don't have the
gconf key /desktop/ibus/general/use-xmodmap, loading the extension fails with:

TypeError: this._config.get_value('general', 'use-xmodmap',
GLib.Variant.new_boolean(true)) is null

It seems that this is because get_value()'s 3rd arg is only available in the
Python binding and not in GI.  I added the following to ibusPanel.js to work
around this:

// patch IBus.Config.get_value to accept defval argument
IBus.Config.prototype._get_value = IBus.Config.prototype.get_value;
IBus.Config.prototype.get_value = function(section, name, defval) {
    let value = this._get_value (section, name);
    if (value == null)
        return defval;
    return value;
};

Also, is it intentional that "-" is used instead of "_" in the gconf
key?

Fully agreed.  FWIW, for the case described in the report (i.e. Zenkaku_Hankaku
as Escape), I requested a new XKB option:

Ah, I mean I also integrated the ibus part of attachment 532262 in my ibus
fedora branch.
