I agree that it is not option for them.  So they change ibus.  It is
configurable.

Please note that many Asian vim users who are happy with ibus binding
:-) That's me.

It is unfortunate fact of life that most european does not check asian
situation before taking over such OS level convention by mere
applications.  At least this has been this way for 10 year history of
ibus and its legacy systems.

I think this hightened awareness come from the fact that ibus is almost
default for everyone with recent GNOME upsream.

I suggest discussing with me does not make me change this upstream
default value.  You do not have enough reason for me to OVERRIDE
upstream

If you can coordinate this unfortunate situation, please discuss this
with upstream and let them change.  I will happily accept upstream
change, if it happens :-)

Since I am not going to represent your view, I am not forwarding this
bug report.  But you can use this BTS URL as reference when you report
to the upstream.
