20.3. Input Methods
20.3. Input Methods Changes in IBus Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 includes support for the Intelligent Input Bus (IBus) version 1.5. Support for IBus is now integrated in GNOME. Input methods can be added using the gnome-control-center region command, and the gnome-control-center keyboard command can be used to set input hotkeys. For non-GNOME sessions, ibus can configure both XKB layouts and input methods in the ibus-setup tool and switch them with a hotkey. The default hotkey is Super + space , replacing Control + space in ibus included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. This provides a similar UI which the user can see with the Alt + Tab combination. Multiple input methods can be switched using the Alt + Tab combination. Predictive Input Method for IBus ibus-typing-booster is a predictive input method for the ibus platform. It predicts complete words based on partial input. Users can select the desired word from a list of suggestions and improve their typing speed and spelling. ibus-typing-booster works also with the Hunspell dictionaries and can make suggestions for a language using a Hunspell dictionary. Note that the ibus-typing-booster package is an optional package, and therefore will not be installed as part of the input-methods group by default.
