--- Comment #4 from Yohei Yukawa yukawa@google.com --- Hi Takehiko. I understand your opinion, but at least one of IBus core developers seems to be suggesting the current behavior.
https://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1662#c1
After Issue 1659 is fixed, I'm thinking we don't need xkb engines for ja and personally I think the initial mode can be Eisu mode permanently.
I feel most of confusions came from so frequent UX changes in IBus upstream. It's really sad, and it makes me less motivated to maintain ibus-mozc. Nowadays I'd like to spend my spare time on improving Mozc on other platforms like Windows and Android rather than keeping up with never-ending UX changes in IBus.
Maybe I'd suggest you to switch from ibus-mozc to ibus-kkc, which has been actively developed by Fedora people. Actually, one of the goal of ibus-kkc is to be a a better replacement of ibus-mozc and ibus-anthy, according to the Fedora wiki. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/libkkc It would be nice if your feedback is used to ibus-kkc.
Thanks again for your understanding.
