Simplified Chinese mode default for Cangjie 5

With reference to /usr/share/ibus-table/engine/table.py. iBus use LANG env to determine the chinese mode.

For my personal opinion, I think the chinese mode of ibus-cangjie should be "Traditional" because cangjie is "Traditional Chinese Input Method".

Yes this is a very annoying bug. The ibus-setup UI does not provide an option to switch cangjie5 input to "traditional" by default. Every time you reboot your machine you have to set it again.

To workaround this issue, I put the following line to /etc/environment:

LC_CTYPE=zh_HK

This will force ibus to default to traditional chinese for cangjie5 input.

I find the new bug very annoying too. Is there a reason that the setting (traditional/simplied) cannot be saved?

A temporary workaround is to change line 126 from return 0 to return 1. But this will default to traditional for all the Chinese IME.

from:
            else:
                if self.db._is_chinese:
                    # if IME declare as Chinese IME
                    return 0
                else:
                    return -1

to:
            else:
                if self.db._is_chinese:
                    # if IME declare as Chinese IME
                    return 1
                else:
                    return -1

Sorry - that is in the file /usr/share/ibus-table/engine/table.py
