Changed from desktop-user-guide to user-guide to help reduce confusion. Great suggestion. Are you interested in writing a paragraph or two for the next release? You can add them to this bug and I'll see that they get into the Guide. I am not sure for other languages, so asked for help other translators. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/trans/2010-March/007107.html [Info for Chinese] --------------------------------------------------- To add information in user guide is a good idea! Most Chinese input methods use Ctrl+Space to turn them on or turn them off, and use Ctrl+Shift to switch between them. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/trans/2010-March/007119.html Hi, FYI IBus would be the default input method framework for coming Fedora. The default toggle key combination is Ctrl-Space, and the key combination of cycling among input methods is Alt-Shift. The Ctrl-Shift key combination has been obsoleted by Alt-Shift, which was made consistent to IME in win32 environment. If user customized another IME after installation, they may have different combination keys for such IME. [Info] --------------------------------- Alt+Shift and Ctrl+Shift have different usage. Alt+Shift switches the user locale (such as zh_TW, zh_CN, Japanese, etc.) and Ctrl+Shift switches IME within the given locale (such as Changjei, Zhuyin for zh_TW) http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/trans/2010-March/007150.html FYI, current arrangement on Fedora 12 and coming Fedora 13 is, Alt-Shift will cycle *every input method* according to the list preferred in the ibus-setup (ibus is the default input method engine atm). There is no Ctrl+Shift presently used by IBus. Anyone is welcomed to propose to have it changed in future IBus. Thanks. Just wondering whether this behaviour is dependent on the desktop environment? Does this work the same way in KDE, Xfce, etc ? Draft paragraph for User's guide: For many people, there is a need to switch between input methods such as Japanese or Chinese character sets. This is handled in Fedora 13 by ibus. The default keyboard shortcut to switch input methods is Alt+Shift. The default keyboard shortcut to disable input methods is Control+Space. Input method settings can be customized through System > Preferences > Input Method in GNOME or Kickoff Application Launcher > Applications > Settings > Input Method in KDE. You can also get the the settings from the command line with ibus-settings. The first tab allows you to customize the keyboard shortcuts. The second tab allows you to add and remove input methods and set the prefered input method. The third tab has advanced settings.

Hi phuang, please confirm if ibus-setup has been renamed into ibus-settings in F13? Susan, great work, thank you!

Current paragraph is: For many people, there is a need to switch between input methods such as Japanese or Chinese character sets. This is handled in Fedora 13 by ibus. The default keyboard shortcut to enable and disable input methods is Control+Space. Once enabled, the default keyboard shortcut to cycle through input methods is Alt+Shift.

There are actually two different "settings":
(1) the desktop input-method preference im-chooser
(System > Preferences > Input Method) which is for activating, selecting,
or disabling input method usage on the desktop (there are also other IMs
than the default ibus available in Fedora)
(2) Configuration of the input method system itself: ibus-setup.
This can be activated from the ibus applet (Right-click > Preferences).
The two are quite different.
Thank you for your feedback. In trying to act as the desktop user, I simply went through the Gui menus and there was a button to configure the preferences and another time when I just started ibus-setup from the command line, it prompts to enable the input method. So the two programs are very closely tied. Any way, I updated the paragraph. Does this make more sense? *** For many people, there is a need to switch between input methods such as Japanese or Chinese character sets. This is handled in Fedora 13 by ibus. The default keyboard shortcut to enable and disable input methods is Control+Space. Once enabled, the default keyboard shortcut to cycle through input methods is Alt+Shift. To enable, disable, or select the type of input method in GNOME, click System → Preferences → Input Method or in KDE, click Kickoff Application Launcher → Applications → Settings → Input Method. You can also get to these settings from the command line with im-chooser. Once enabled, configure the preferences by clicking the Input Method Preferences button. The first tab allows you to customize the keyboard shortcuts. The second tab allows you to add and remove input methods and set the prefered input method. The third tab has advanced settings. You can customize preferences later by right clicking the ibus applet and selecting Preferences or from the command line with ibus-setup.
