Azerty deadkeys : é è à due to IBus 1.5.29-rc2

Hi,

Lot of people have trouble with non qwerty keyboard, and so are the french AZERTY.

We just can't bind some critical keys in some game with proton.

Lot of people are complaining about this, and all workaround point to upgrade IBus to version 1.5.29-rc6 or IBus 1.5.30.

The current 1.5.29-rc2 stuck us to bind the keys !!

Please help, what is the good way to upgrade (or downgrade) this package since it's not available in zorin 18.

I'm not an expert on your situation, as its a unique one. Having said that, if simply upgrading Ibus to a later version, you could run this is terminal...

CTRL Alt T to enter terminal.

sudo apt full-upgrade

You will be required to enter your password, to run this command.

If the upgrade command does not upgrade the Ibus version, that means its not available in this distribution, and you will need to try another Linux OS that has it in its package manager.


You could try to switch from IBUS to XIM (maybe you need also to switch to Xorg at loginscreen to use XIM, I'm not sure because I'm not familar with that topic).
Go to settings > system > system > manage installed languages > language > keyboard input method system

There you see IBUS. Click there and change it to XIM, reboot and test
