Yes it is pretty common annoyance, but some people tend to get super
frustrated if it *always* and *predictably* happens every time when
they log-in,
They are being unreasonablly sensitive. Please ignore them.
especially for those who always launch terminal or their favorite
editor immediately after log-in. On the other hand, I know there are
some people who wish exactly the opposite.
What I want is not the opposite.
[...]
And probably some people feel that the previous mode should be
remembered. like Mac OS X, right?
In Mac OS X, I believe you can switch directly to a specific input
mode. So which being default is irrelevant there. (whereas we cannot
do that with ibus as you previously mentioned.)
Well, I feel these 3 options are equally reasonable, and equally
unreasonable for those who have different preference.
Equally reasonable! You've just admitted that there's no solid
reason to choose direct input mode over hiragana mode as default.
Please note that they are equally reasonable only for those who use
mozc exclusively and switch back and forth between direct input mode
and hiragana mode.
I use 'en' to type ascii chars and switch to a japanese input method
to type japanese. When I switch to a japanese input method, I expect
that I am able to type Japanese. You broke this expectation. I have to
switch to mozc and then switch to hiranaga mode. This double action
feels very silly. It even feels buggy, too. I thought mozc crashed
when mozc was updated.
Since I know what is going on now, it is actually a minor, once per
session annoyance (read 'I am not super frustrated'). But it must be
confusing to those who are new to mozc.
It is quite understandable that ibus-kkc and ibus-anthy enable users
to choose the initial input mode in their setting dialogs.
It is a good feature to have. But what should be the default is an
orthogonal issue. (hiragana should be the default obviously.)
