[Pkg-ime-devel] IBus: Surrounding Text Support

[Harshula]

Hi,

Could you please enable surrounding text support (STS) by passing
"--enable-surrounding-text" to configure? This is the first upstream
IBus release in Debian that contains STS code. SCIM had STS a long time
ago.

Daiki (CC'd) implemented the feature:
-----------------------------------------
commit 06e6abee9f221bdf7c277538ce136154465619d7

    Support surrounding-text retrieval.
    
    Unlike the GtkIMContext API, IBus automatically retrieves
    surrounding-text when certain events occurred to the
    client ("before filter_keypress", for example).  This makes the
    engine API simpler but causes periodical emission of D-Bus
    signals for updating surrounding-text information, which is
    unwanted for typical engines.
    
    For this reason, the surrounding-text support is currently
    disabled by default.  To enable it, pass
    --enable-surrounding-text to configure.  Also, even
    surrounding-text support is compiled in, IBus does not start
    polling until an engine requests surrounding-text using
    ibus_engine_get_surrounding_text().  To make the function work
    for the first time, clients should retrieve
    initial surrounding-text when the engine is enabled (see
ibus_im_context_focus_in() and
    _ibus_context_enabled_cb() in client/gtk2/ibusimcontext.c).
-----------------------------------------

The reasons why STS is needed are documented here:

Thanks,
