okay so you found your way into IBUS-ENGINE-KEYMAN(8), the User Commands corner of the manual-verse, and honestly? slay. let's get you fluent ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibus-engine-keyman — a multiple language input engine based on ibus 🦋

like, it handles input for a bunch of languages at once, and it rides on top of ibus. main character energy fr fr 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

here's the vibe, no cap:

ibus-engine-keyman [options]
🚨 real talk: this command should run from ibus. do not run it directly. like, that's not a suggestion, bestie, that's the whole point. it's built to be launched by ibus, not by you typing it into a terminal for funsies 😭

so here are the options, and yes we're going through every single one 💖

  • -h, --help — show this message. classic. the "wait what does this do again" button 🙈
  • -x, --xml — generate XML listing all keyboards. this one is used by ibus. it's giving "hand me the full keyboard menu in XML form" 📜
  • -i, --ibus — Component is executed by ibus. that's the mode where ibus is the one driving 🚗
  • --testing — Component is executed by integration tests. yes queen, the test suite has its own mode 🧪

✨ example: ✨

./ibus-engine-keyman --ibus

that's it. that's the example. short, sweet, iconic 👑
