Fuminobu TAKEYAMA replied to me (regarding two environments that are not Suse):
but only deletes a half-width column in the terminal emulator
I'm not sure but I guess the terminal emulator is misunderstanding the current locale on your system or cannot deal with that locale correctly.
jfbterm knows how to deal with ja_JP.UTF8, except when backspacing out a full-width character. anthy is used in this environment. Konsole also knows how to deal with ja_JP.UTF8, except for problems like we're discussing here. One problem came from the way a program was reading input from the Konsole, so I think sometimes it also had the problem of backspacing out a full-width character, but I don't recall (I gave up a few years ago). One problem was that henkan on-the-spot didn't work and I had to resort to a very old method. I think the henkan method was slightly newer than anthy but the communication method was older than ibus, but again I don't recall.
I gave up to show IME mode of Anthy. Because most users do not use it anymore.
Hmm. I think jfbterm displays the IME mode of Anthy, though of course not in KDE's task bar because X isn't running. If Konsole would do that, it would be enough for my user, but usually KDE displays friendly icons in its taskbar. So now I'm sure that our KDE environment uses something newer than anthy. But I couldn't get the extra icons to display in the taskbar. I couldn't figure out how Suse did it. I tried to search for Mike Fabian's documents but couldn't find them.
Or enable property panel of IBus. See: https://ja.opensuse.org/IBus
Also, changing your input method framework into fcitx is good idea if you don't use GNOME 3.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Why did Mike Fabian's documents leave Suse? They're still important. Are they available somewhere?
I don't know about the document at all.
Sigh. Well, thank you for responding to my question. Yours sincerely, Norman Diamond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner@opensuse.org
