(first post on the list), Hello >From https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Input_methods it would seem gentoo on IBus should support Ctrl-Shift-u to support input of unicode characters. I have Ibus compiled with USE="unicode -emoji", and with /usr/bin/ibus-setup, the emoji tab shows an entry of "Unicode code point" with <Control><Shift><u>. However this seems to have no effect on the C-S-u keybinding, and I am not prompted for any hex input in applications that use IBus.
If I type Ctrl-<period> or Ctrl-<semicolon> I do get prompted with a dialog box full of smileys. So even with USE=-emoji emoji prompting works. Where should I look for the reasons why Ctrl-Shift-u doesn't work? Does it work for others? Ibus input method switching works (for applications that support it: xkb methdods always work but I see glitches with ibus-m17n input methods), only this unicode input isn't working. Could this be an IBus bug? Apparently it works out of the box on other distros. --- Madhu
