Description of problem: The keyboard layout changes for Japanese when input source changes from English US to Japanese (plain). However, the layout won't change when input source changes from English US to Japanese Kana Kanji. The layout remains for English. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ibus-1.5.8-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (I assume GNOME Desktop) 1. Open the settings panel (gnome-control-center) 2. Select [Region & Language] 3. Add English US and Japanse Kana Kanji to the input source list 4. Press Supser+Space to switch the input source to English US 5. Press Supser+Space to switch the input source to Japanese Kana Kanji Actual results: The keyboard layout remains for English US. Expected results: The keyboard layout is for Japanese Additional info: This problem also occurs when: - switching between English US and Japanse Mozc - switching between German and Japanse Kana Kanji This problem does NOT occur when: - switching between English US and Japanse (plain) - switching between English US and German And this problem occurs on Fedora 21, too
Input method does not change the keyboard layout. If you need to switch the layout, you need to add 'JP' keyboard layout besides kkc. Or probably you can set the keyboard layout in kcc with the kkc setup dialog, /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-kkc
(In reply to fujiwara from comment #1) > Input method does not change the keyboard layout. Do you mean switching input sources does not change the keyboard layout? If so, why switching from Japanese Kana Kanji to German using Supser+Space changes the layout for German? And, why is the reverse not true? I don't think it is intuitive and convenient if switching sources from A to B changes the layout while B to A does not. Or, don't I get your points? > If you need to switch the layout, you need to add 'JP' keyboard layout > besides kkc. > Or probably you can set the keyboard layout in kcc with the kkc setup > dialog, /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-kkc Actually, I use Japanese and German sources, which are not compatible with each other. According to you, to switch from German to Japanese, you have to switch German -> JP (Japanese plain) -> Japanse Kana Kanji. Don't you think that is annoying? The reverse is just Japanese Kana Kanji -> Germany.

Once you switch the engine to German, you will use German layout between kkc and 'de'. That means it would be good the session layout to 'de'. > > > > If you need to switch the layout, you need to add 'JP' keyboard layout > > besides kkc. > > Or probably you can set the keyboard layout in kcc with the kkc setup > > dialog, /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-kkc > > Actually, I use Japanese and German sources, which are not compatible with > each other.

The reverse is just Japanese Kana Kanji -> Germany. If you use the multiple XKB engines, I'd suggest to configure kkc to set the preferred layout 'jp' likes ibus-setup-kkc.
I see. Thank you for the explanation and advice. I closed this as NOTABUG.
