• [gentoo-user] IBus + Ctlr-Shift-u - unicode hex input

    From Madhu@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 25 19:00:01 2022
    (first post on the list), Hello

    From https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Input_methods it would seem gentoo
    on IBus should support Ctrl-Shift-u to support input of unicode
    characters. I have Ibus compiled with USE="unicode -emoji", and with /usr/bin/ibus-setup, the emoji tab shows an entry of "Unicode code
    point" with <Control><Shift><u>. However this seems to have no effect
    on the C-S-u keybinding, and I am not prompted for any hex input in applications that use IBus.

    If I type Ctrl-<period> or Ctrl-<semicolon> I do get prompted with a
    dialog box full of smileys. So even with USE=-emoji emoji prompting works.

    Where should I look for the reasons why Ctrl-Shift-u doesn't work?
    Does it work for others? Ibus input method switching works (for
    applications that support it: xkb methdods always work but I see
    glitches with ibus-m17n input methods), only this unicode input isn't
    working. Could this be an IBus bug? Apparently it works out of the
    box on other distros.
