Building on #David Cavaillini, here is the trick for those who want to type Japanese on a non-US keyboard:
copy /usr/share/ibus-anthy/engine/default.xml to ~/.config/ibus-anthy/engines.xml change <layout>jp</layout> to <layout>fr</layout> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235991 Title: Can't “use system keyboard layout” in Saucy Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Saucy, ibus becomes more tightly integrated with the desktop. Configuring it via ibus-setup doesn't affect the instance run by ubuntu. And with the new system, there's no way to replicate the behaviour of the old “use system keyboard layout” option. When I use, for example, pinyin (Chinese) or anthy (Japanese), I want to type the letters in dvorak. I've been doing that for years, and now in Saucy it's impossible.
