Description of problem:

In kana mode which I like, KKC won't let me add words to the dictionary, while
in Roma-ji mode, it works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I use Fedora 27, but other version should be applied to.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select a word (usually kanji word) with mouse.
2.Hit Alt+r (nothing happens then)
3.Enter its reading

Actual results:
No words are recorded.

Expected results:
Words are added to the dictionary.

Additional info:
It works in Romaji-mode.

--- Comment #3 from Daiki Ueno <dueno(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
That wouldn't work on Wayland, because the engine process doesn't have a window
and thus cannot get a clipboard. I have no idea how it could be solved; maybe a
protocol modification might be needed at some level, like:

BTW is there any manual workaround?
I mean like a way to add words outside pre-edit say.

--- Comment #5 from Daiki Ueno <dueno(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
The manual workaround is to just edit ~/.config/ibus-kkc/dictionaries/segment,
though it's cumbersome.

Another work around would be to use surrounding-text to mark the committed text
(like re-conversion in some other engines) instead of clipboard, though it
would require extra key bindings.

I see, thanks.

Maybe Alt-R could just popup a dialog to allow the user to add to the
dictionary?

--- Comment #7 from Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Or maybe it is better to handle it inside ibus-setup-kkc?
