Notes

Abstract

Chinese or Korean style of text field switching? Synchronization or YOLO? text-input, input-method, virtual-keyboard?

This will be a summary of my work on problems in Wayland input (methods).

How to fix your Wayland problem? How to get your protocol accepted? Which projects will implement it? How long is it going to take?

Less about code, I will talk more about needs and people, based on my experiences over the past year.

Honestly, I'm the worst person to work on input methods. Why did no one kick me out from this sandbox yet?

A hard core FLOSS purist, with a beard to prove it. Started my input method journey with the Librem 5 and never forgot about mobile text input.
