Add IBUS input method as the default input method

For [Japanese, Korean, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified)] users, add input methods, as far as I know it supports the most extensive and complete languages.

Is there a non-Gtk, non-Linux, non-Red Hat way of achieving a similar thing?
I always found "input sources" utterly confusing on Linux, and especially on Gnome, where this thing seems to be integrated.

How does Haiku do this?

I never thought that ibus has a problem in German, no wonder Ubuntu will add " keyboard input method system " option in language support in system settings.

On Ubuntu Unity:

There is one more thing. You should add a new language switch in the upper right corner of the menu. Just like Mac or unity, choose the language you should choose. This should reduce the number of incorrect input because the video I saw is solved like this (maybe).

This is an anti-feature if you ask me.

helloSystem is about making things simple, not complicated.
The language should match what is physically printed on the keyboard, and it should be auto-detected.

You have a British keyboard? Then it should be recognized as such. Or have a US keyboard? Then it should be recognized as such. (This is how it works with Raspberry Pi keyboards currently.)

It’s just that if one keyboard and one word are ideal, it’s impossible to achieve in my language.

This is the language i use
Because in my language, there are 7 ways to input a word.

Then there are 5 ways to write in one word

It is indeed very important to automatically detect the keyboard configuration, if the configuration is not complete, you still have to select the layout in the keyboard settings.

Whether it is a mac or a pc keyboard.
