synapse can't get keyboard input with ibus input method

[Thomas Yao]

OS:ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS,32-bit

Can't get keyboard input(neither to search,nor to modify the shortcut key) with ibus, it only works if I quit the ibus input method

Thank you for your great job, willing to see you solve this problem ASAP, thx again :)

Try to set IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS="synapse", synapse should work fine.

[Thomas Yao (5-root-ghostunix-org)]

Thanks, it works!

In version 0.2.2.1, the back, enter and arrow keys are not working.
The solution of setting IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS variable does not work neither.

OS: ubuntu 10.04, 32bit

[atwestbrooke (atwestbrooke)]

Same problem here. No backspace, enter, arrow or escape. IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS solution doesn't help.

Ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit

Hi! It's a very good job. Thanks for it.
I've the same problem with keys in version 0.2.2.1 (in earlier ones I haven't it), but only with cyrillic symbols. If I use english symbols, I have no problem.
Ubuntu 10.04.1 32 bit.
By the way, where should I set IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS="synapse"?
Thanks!

The problme is that we don't know how ibus works.
Someone can tell me how to try ibus?
So I can test in a VM and try to fix this.

[Tim Chen (ht-timchen)]

hmm, I think it comes with Ubuntu distribution and you can enable it
from the menu (System/Administration/Language Support), then switch
the keyboard input method system from none to ibus.

thanks for the help.

@sirius_2, you can change the environment variable by adding that line at /etc/environment

Guys, yey! I fixed it in rev 316 :)

I simply launched "ibus-daemon", now synapse works with IBUS.
Also I didn't set IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS, and I can push chinese input into synapse:
- press ctrl+space to enable ibus chinese
- press super+space (my synapse activate keybinding) to summon synapse
- write some chars "asd", then press space (or the relative number) to get the ibus-selected char
- chinese chars inserted into synapse

Is this correct?
Btw, now all keys (backspace, enter, arrow or escape) works

[Michal Hruby (mhr3)]

Could anyone confirm that r316 fixes this?

[portis (portis24)]

Yes, I can confirm. thanks.

Sorry for my previous confirmation, but I still have to set IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS to make synapse to work.

[Leo (leopoldo-pena)]

+1 here

In version 0.2.2.1, the back, enter and arrow keys are not working.
Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Any solution?

[Tes (4-launchpad-net-spam-nandoe-net)]

Only work with IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS here as well (on r316). Also, the ibus input window is not shown at the correct location.

[Alberto Aldegheri (albyrock87)]

Should be ok now in rev 317, but I can't do anything for IBUS window, and also I don't know if synapse will work without setting IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS="synapse" .
If gnome do does, that's because IBUS's developers have included by default gnome-do into the default value of IBUS_NO_SNOOPER_APPS =)

[Alberto Aldegheri (albyrock87)]

Leo, Tes, or someone else, could you try if lastest rev works (also without IBUS_NO.....)? (rev 318)
Thank you.

[Leo (leopoldo-pena)]

It does work now!

Great work Alberto!
This is what makes free software community so awesome.

Btw, no need for the IBUS_NO... change. Just update and enjoy.

[sirius_2 (vladdyokin)]

Hi, guys! The last update has fixed the problem with cyrillic symbols. Great job!
Thanks very much!
I like Synapse more and more ;)

[atwestbrooke (atwestbrooke)]

Yup. Fixed it. Synapse rocks!
