Thanks Gunnar, I actually tried kitty and read its manpage after recent exchanges. This is very interesting terminal program indeed. If I understand correctly, upstream chose to disable ibus feature if GLFW_IM_MODULE is not set to ibus. So ibus is opt-in feature. Reverting that feature choice is one option for Debian maintainer can do indeed. This is a risky path most maintainers hesitate. Since kitty has kitty.conf, a non-confrontational approach may be a patch to add one configuration option in kitty.conf to enable ibus. So ibus support is still opt-in feature. If James doesn't want to go along with Gunnar's suggestion, this may be a alternative path forward. Regards, Osamu
