Description Jens Petersen 2009-05-25 02:09:01 UTC

Description of problem:
IBus should provide on-screen help for how to use IMEs.
ibus can provide the mechanism to display basic howto help
from each IME.

Comment 1 Peng Huang 2009-05-25 06:28:47 UTC

How about create guides in html and open browser in ibus to show the guides?

Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2009-05-25 07:14:47 UTC

Is this help mean showing Key summary from keymap file like we used to show in scim?

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2009-05-26 00:01:12 UTC

Adding Warren since he originally suggested this.

Yeah that might work, or maybe something closer to scim's info screen?

For m17n yes it could - it would depend on the IME.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2009-05-26 00:06:49 UTC

I think as long as any html is available locally, ie does not need an internet connection it would be ok anyway.
