(In reply to fujiwara from comment #1)
Probably I think you wish to use no keyboard layout with ibus.
Do you mean the layout named 'no' or 'do not use a keyboard layout with
ibus',
i.e. ibus is inactive?
Ideally I would like the keyboard layout to represent the physical keyboard on
the computer I'm using, with no regard to language. Then the ibus hotkey
selections (preferably for the current window) could be 'Japanese' and
'direct
input', and direct input to be the keyboard layout that I selected in the mate
settings.
Your "Norwegian nb-NO" might be chosen from ibus-m17n or
ibus-typing-booster
and they are input methods.
Now ibus provides the keyboard layouts and input methods.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what the input method adds in the case of
using a localized keyboard with a the writing system it is designed for. It
makes sense to me when the the letters on the keyboard do not match what is to
be produced, e.g. Japanese text/latin keyboard. Is this just a matter of a
missing configuration in the case of my language?
Could you insert the following lines in
/usr/share/ibus/component/simple.xml
by manual and restart ibus-daemon?
And ibus-setup will show the "Norwegian (eliminate dead keys)" keymap.
This worked, although the eliminate dead keys part doesn't. I want the dead
keys, so I'm fine with that, but if this is going into a proper fix, then it
probably should be corrected. And then I would need a section without the
'eliminate dead keys' part. :)
I'm not sure if the nodeadkeys variant is often used.
I
don't know, but I think foreign language use is high, so I think the other
option is more important. I think a lot of users don't know what they are, so
they avoid selecting the nodeadkeys option.
Thanks for the workaround.
PS
You could disable ibus and check the current layout with setxkbmap
command:
% setxkbmap -query
layout: no
I'll paste the output of this in another comment.
