Description Akira TAGOH 2024-03-04 07:35:58 UTC

I installed KDE Live with Japanese keyboard layout. Apparently it works after the installation (e.g. shift+2 introduces "). but it becomes @ as US layout after enabling ibus from the virtual keyboard settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install KDE Live with Japanese keyboard layout
2.confirm typing on konsole say after the installation
3.Enable IBus from Virtual kayboard and try typing again
Actual Results:  
Keyboard layout will be changed after step 2 from Japanese to US

Expected Results:  
Japanese layout should still be used

I guess you don't configure JP layout with ibus-setup.
Probably it would be an RFE.

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2024-03-12 03:07:57 UTC

No, I don't. that step hasn't ever needed. I'm wondering what "default" keyboard layout means then.

The "default" layout inherits the current session layout.
If you configure 'anthy' only in the GSetting key org.freedesktop.ibus.general preload-engines and start ibus-daemon, ibus-wayland does not change the keymap with 'anthy'.

ibus-wayland configure 'en' layout if you don't configure any layouts by default instead of ibus-panel.
Because I don't know which Xorg keymap or KDE keymap could be the default in Wayland.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2024-03-15 11:14:52 UTC

Without enabling IBus Virtual keyboard, Plasma Wayland recognizes the keyboard layout properly. I guess they simply use the keyboard layout config from systemd as it is.

$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: jp
   X11 Layout: jp
    X11 Model: pc105

Though they also have own layout config in Keyboard->Layout tab in kdesettings but I don't see any layout map there as initial setup.

Comment 5 fujiwara 2024-03-22 01:00:29 UTC

I thought the systemd D-Bus method can get the session keymaps but it would be a RFE while currently ibus-panel runs `setxkbmap -query` to get the session keymaps.
You provides the `localectl` and it would be the nicer way since we can replace `setxkbmap` with `localectl` simply, which is included in the systemd package.
But I think this is still a RFE because `localectl status` does not provide the pre-configured XKB options against `setxkbmap -query` in Xorg and we need to think how to load or set the XKB options in Wayland.

I made the patch to follow your suggestion and it will be implemented to Fedora 40 only as I assume it's a new feature.
