-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi thom, as i am a stupid user it would make me happy if questions in mailing lists would be answered directly (by people who know the answer) not answering in a "general hint" i tried your suggestion googleing "super key" (and i have had succes anyway of your "general hint" so you helped me (party) thanks :-)) from google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_key_%28keyboard_button%29 The Super key refers to several different keys throughout keyboard history. Originally the Super key was a modifier key on the Space-cadet keyboard. Recently "Super key" has become an alternative name for the Windows key when using Linux or BSD operating systems or software that originated on these systems https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-key-super.html.en you have an Apple keyboard, you will have a ⌘ (Command) key instead of the Windows key, while Chromebooks have a magnifying glass instead. BUT sorry, not on all my systems present: as i read this correct, super key IS "windows key" i tried on one system with new keyboard (and tumbleweed) the windows key and the space key. here i am now able to switch between 2 languages for keyboard input german and english. what about my "cherry gold plated-layer keyboard" = made in west-germany = artikle nr. G81-3000 HAD/11 serial no.:048122 c39 = without "€" symbol and without "windows" key (its about 20 years old) (in near future there will be also tubleweed on such a pc-keyboard combinations) by the way i will never change this type of keyboard to a newer one (at my personaly everyday used computer). with this HEAVY board you can still kill somebody ;-))) there is is STEEL inside and as mentioned, gold... ;-)))) newer keyboards HAVE windows keys, I USE open-surce LINUX!! as for now, no need for a windows symbol on my (private) keyboard!!!! thanks, simoN Am 04.11.2017 um 19:23 schrieb Patrick Shanahan:

libibus is a KDE requirement.
libibus is irrelevant here though. And ibus is not a KDE *requirement* at all. Actually it shouldn't even get installed in KDE, but libreoffice-gnome (used now in KDE too because libreoffice-kde4 has been dropped) pulls it in. It's only a supplement though (no hard requirement), so you can uninstall it (and/or prevent its installation) if you want.

libibus is a KDE requirement.
That is simply one of the facts I pulled from the mentioned thread.
libibus is irrelevant here though.
But is it *completely* irrelevant, e.g., it would be nice to know in a technical sense if KDE keyboard layouts and ibus were using the same library behind the scenes. It would be a good thing if they are. Or else, what is libibus used for?

When I discovered I had both, I thought I would go with ibus, but then I discovered that kvkbd does not respond to it. So if you occasionally want to use an on-screen keyboard with KDE, do it the KDE way. -- ============================ Roger Whittaker roger@disruptive.org.uk ============================ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes. It doesn't allow you to switch your keyboard layout by itself, nor does it display any icon, and it doesn't require ibus installed or running at all either. The library (libibus) just allows an application (or the deskop) to interface with ibus if it's running. That's similar to libpulse that's required by many things, but you can still disable or uninstall pulseaudio itself and stick to plain ALSA if you prefer. And there are other examples as well... AFAIK, the only thing in Plasma that needs/uses libibus is the "kimpanel" (aka "A generic input method panel"), a plasmoid that allows to configure and use IMs like ibus, i.e. simply put it's a KDE frontend to ibus (and other IMs) that's shipped with Plasma. But that's nothing new at all, and not mandatory either.
e.g., it would be nice to know in a technical sense if KDE keyboard layouts and ibus were using the same library behind the scenes.
KDE's keyboard layout switcher does not use libibus. It only interfaces with X itself.
Well, I like to be able to adjust my keyboard layouts, so which one should I use?
Whichever you prefer, and there's also fcitx... ;-) . (I use neither of them) If you only want to switch the keyboard layout, KDE/Plasma's standard switcher should be good enough. But ibus is much more than a simple keyboard layout switcher. AIUI, it's main purpose is allowing to enter foreign (e.g. Asiatic) characters. Actually I don't even know the details myself as I never used it, but see here for a better explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Input_Bus To summarize: if you like ibus (and its features), use it. If you prefer the KDE switcher, just uninstall ibus (and lock it that it doesn't get installed again). In the end it's your choice though.

Hi: ibus related issues is supposed to discuss in openSUSE-M17N mail-list, all the maintainer of localization is there.
