[Bug 2002199] New: German neo2 layout sticks when switching to typing-booster, no emoji found

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2002199

Bug ID: 2002199
           Summary: German neo2 layout sticks when switching to
                    typing-booster, no emoji found
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 35
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: ibus-typing-booster
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
        QA Contact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail],
                    [e-mail], [e-mail]
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora

Description of problem:

For the F35 test days I executed [QA:Testcase
ibus-typing-booster](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ibus-typing-booster)
and [QA:Testcase
ibus-m17n](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ibus-m17n)

In both cases the keyboard layout sticks when I choose de_DE (neo2). It does
not stick when I choose en_EN (intl) or fr_FR (azerty).

In typing-booster the sticking neo2 layout causes emoji not being suggested
when finishing a word with an underscore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-typing-booster-2.14.10-1.fc35.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always during the test session.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add input source German (Germany), German (Neo 2) 
2. Add input source Others, Typing Booster)
3. Add input source sayura by searching for it
4. Switch to input source Neo 2 in Gnome Panel
5. Switch to input source Typing Booster in Gnome Panel (and make sure en_EN)
is among the languages)
6. Open gedit
7. Try to type qwerty
8. Type cat_ (rdl CAPSLOCK+w)
9. Switch to input source sayura in Gnome Panel
10. In gedit, type i n W d R i y

Actual results:

7. You will type xvlcwk since neo stuck
8. *No emoji will appear in the suggestions*
10. ගබවාඡගක instead of ඉන්‍ද්‍රිය will appear since neo stuck

Expected results:

6. I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour
7. Among the suggestions there should be a cat emoji

--- Comment #1 from Mike FABIAN  ---
1) 
That the neo2 keyboard layout *sticks* when switching to most input methods is
the expected behaviour.
Most input methods do not enforce a specific layout. For example, when you
switch to the Japanese input method
ibus-anthy and want to type Japanese using phonetics, for example typing
“nihon” to get 日本, it would not be nice if the input method forced you to type
the “nihon” using a QWERTY layout. Only non-phonetic input methods, for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cangjie_input_method need to force a specific
keyboard layout, usually the US English layout.

ibus-typing-booster does not force a layout either, you should be able to use
your neo2 layout with ibus-typing-booster, so it is good that it “sticks”.
Makes it possible for you to type “cat” the way you are used to do it on the
neo2 layout.

2)
That the underscore does not trigger the emoji input but commits the preedit
instead when using the neo2 layout
is a but in my opinion.

I think I have a fix for this, coming soon ... ⏳

Thank you very much for testing ibus-typing-booster with the Neo2 keyboard
layout!

The change

https://github.com/mike-fabian/ibus-typing-booster/commit/0da5d094c89435553e...

fixes the problem that _ didn’t trigger emoji lookup when using the Neo2
layout.

But I noticed a few other difference when using the Neo2 layout.

For example:

When typing characters like []=&$ using the Neo2 layout, they are on the 3rd
level i.e. they are typed
with “CapsLock” + something (where CapsLock is the key used for CapsLock on
most QWERTY layouts, but it is ISO_Level3_Shift on the Neo2 layout).
ISO_Level3_Shift is on AltGr (Right Alt key) on many other layouts.

In m17n-db, which ibus-typing-booster uses for transliteration,
ISO_Level3_Shift/AltGr is the “msymbol” “G-”.
So _ is typed as “G-_” with the Neo2 layout. I added “G-_” as another exception
in my patch, because it is important to be able to type _ into the preedit to
trigger the emoji lookup.

But I did **not** yet add someting like “G-&” as an exception.

That means, they when typing a & using Neo2 while a preedit is open, the
preedit  is committed and the & appended.

That is probably no big problem because completing stuff ending with & probably
does not make much sense anyway.

But it is a slightly different behaviour compared to using typing booster with
a “normal” QWERTY layout.
When typing & on a normal QWERTY layout, the & is inserted into the preedit
instead of committing the preedit and appending on Neo2.

I think in these cases, this difference does not matter much.

But if you think it matters and especially if you find other, more important
problems while using typing booster with the Neo2 layout, please tell me and
I’ll think what I can do about it.
