How to set up pinyin input in Qubes
-----------------------------------
-1. Don't try to install anything in Dom0.
+1. In the TemplateVM in which the AppVMs you would like to use pinyin input is based, please install `ibus-pinyin` via the package manager or terminal. If the template is Fedora-based, run `sudo dnf install ibus-pinyin`, if the template is Debian-based, run `sudo apt install ibus-pinyin`
-2. Choose a TemplateVM in which you will be using pinyin input on AppVM
- instances thereof and open a terminal there.
+2. Close and shut down the TemplateVM.
-3. Issue `sudo yum install ibus-pinyin` (or, for a Debian template,
- `sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin`).
-
-4. Close and shut down the TemplateVM.
-
-5. Restart an AppVM which inherits from the template and open a terminal.
+3. Restart an AppVM which based on the template you installed `ibus-pinyin` and open a terminal.
-6. Issue `ibus-setup`.
+4. Run `ibus-setup`
-7. You will likely get the error message telling you to paste
+5. You will likely get the error message telling you to paste the following into your bashrc:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
- into your bashrc.
-
- Copy the text, and then issue: `sudo nano ~/.bashrc`
- Paste the text into the bottom of the file and press ctrl-x to save and
- close.
+ Copy the text into your `~/.bashrc` file with your favorite text editor.
You will need to do this on any AppVM in which you wish to use pinyin input.
-8. Setup ibus input as you like using the graphical menu (add pinyin or
- intelligent pinyin to selections). You can bring the menu back by issuing
- `ibus-setup` from a terminal.
+6. Set up ibus input as you like using the graphical menu (add pinyin or intelligent pinyin to selections). You can bring the menu back by issuing `ibus-setup` from a terminal.
-9. Use super-space as you are used to using to switch between pinyin-unicode and
- Latin character input.
+7. Set up your shortcut for switching between inputs, by default it is super-space.
-10. Whenever you restart one of these AppVMs, you will need to open a terminal
- and issue `imsettings-switch ibus` to activate ibus.
+If ibus-pinyin is not enabled when you restart one of these AppVMs, open a terminal and run `ibus-setup` to activate ibus again.
