Description Martin Sourada 2009-05-13 20:47:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Because most input methods seem to be designed to work best with US keyboard layout, it would be IMHO good to automatically switch to it when turing ibus on (and switch back when turing off)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.1.0.20090508-1.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch your layout to something different from USA, e.g. Cze
2. turn some ibus input method, e.g. anthy, on
  
Actual results:
keyboard layout stays same

Expected results:
kayboard layout changes to USA

I implemented keymap in ibus. With keymap, ibus processes scan code instead of
keysym. I think it could fix your problem. Please try the scratch build of
ibus.

Yeah, that works almost as expected. Because the gnome keyboard layout remains same, it's kinda confusing that different layout than the one being displayed is used, but I guess one can get used to it soon.
