--- Comment #8 from Takehiko Abe keke@gol.com --- (In reply to Yohei Yukawa from comment #6)
Why do you think Direct input mode is a better choice?
Please ask him. But I suppose that IBus developers no longer want to handle tricky requirements from Japanese input method users in IBus side.
For example, please try to assign Ctrl+J to switch to Hiragana mode of Mozc from any other input source that does not belong to Mozc. According to the following thread, it is still unable. https://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=747
While the discussion is informative and interesting, it has little to do with why direct input mode should be the default. (am i missing something?)
This is one of the examples why the weird Direct mode of Mozc is still required.
I see. It is required. But why should it be the default mode?
