    <desc>Add input sources and switch between them.</desc>
  </info>

  <title>Use alternative input sources</title>

  <p>Keyboards come in hundreds of different layouts for different languages.
  Even for a single language, there are often multiple keyboard layouts, such
  as the Dvorak layout for English. You can make your keyboard behave like a
  keyboard with a different layout, regardless of the letters and symbols
  printed on the keys. This is useful if you often switch between multiple
  languages.</p>

  <p>Some languages, such as Chinese or Korean, require a more complex input
  method than just a simple key to character mapping. Consequently some of
  the input sources you can choose between enable such a method. More about
  that in the section <link xref="#complex">Complex input methods</link>.</p>

  <section id="add">
    <title>Add input sources</title>

    <note style="sidebar">
      <p>You can preview an image of any layout by selecting it in the list and clicking
      <gui><media type="image" src="figures/input-keyboard-symbolic.svg" width="16" height="16">
      preview</media></gui>.</p>
    </note>

    <steps>
      <item>
       <p>Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>In the Personal section, click <gui>Text Entry</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>Click the <gui>+</gui> button, select an input source, and click
       <gui>Add</gui>.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>

    <p>The default source is the source at the top of the list. Use the
    <gui>↑</gui> and <gui>↓</gui> buttons to move sources up and down in
    the list.</p>

    <note style="tip">
      <p>If you select a source with an input method, you can click
      <gui><media type="image" src="figures/input-preferences.png" width="18" height="18">
      preferences</media></gui> to access that method's preferences dialog if any.</p>
    </note>
  </section>

  <section id="indicator">
    <title>Input source indicator</title>

    <p>You can quickly switch between selected sources using the input source
    indicator in the menu bar. The menu will display a short identifier for the
    current source, such as <gui>En</gui> for the standard English layout or a
    symbol in case of a source that uses a special input method, e.g. Chinese
    (Chewing). Click the input source indicator and select from the menu the
    source you want to use.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="shortcuts">
    <title>Keyboard shortcuts</title>

    <p>You can also use keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch between your selected
    input sources. By default the shortcut for switching to next source is
    <keyseq><key xref="windows-key">Super</key><key>Space</key></keyseq>, but you
    can change it:</p>

    <steps>
      <item>
       <p>Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>In the Personal section, click <gui>Text Entry</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>Click the current shortcut definition below the label <gui>Switch to
       next source using</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>When the shortcut definition has changed to <gui>New accelerator...</gui>,
       press the keys you want to use as the new shortcut.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>
  </section>

  <section id="windows">
    <title>Set input source for all windows or individually for each window</title>

    <p>When you use multiple sources, you can choose to have all windows use the
    same source or to set a different source for each window. Using a different
    source for each window is useful, for example, if you're writing an article
    in another language in a word processor window. Your input source selection will
    be remembered for each window as you switch between windows.</p>

    <p>By default, new windows will use the default input source. You can
    instead choose to have them use the source of the window you were last
    using.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="complex">
    <title>Complex input methods</title>

    <p>Recommended frameworks for input methods are <em>IBus</em> and
    <em>Fcitx</em>. The latter is the default framework in Ubuntu for Chinese,
    Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese.</p>

    <p>Input source options with input methods are only available if respective
    input method (IM) engine is installed. When you install a language, a suitable
    IM engine is automatically installed if applicable.</p>

    <p>For example, to prepare for typing Korean (Hangul) on an English system,
    follow these steps:</p>

    <steps>
      <item>
        <p><link xref="prefs-language-install">Install</link> Korean. One of the
        installed packages is <em>fcitx-hangul</em>, the Hangul IM engine for
        Fcitx.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Close <gui>Language Support</gui> and open it again.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Select <em>fcitx</em> as the <gui>Keyboard input method system</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Log out and log in again.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>In the Personal section, click <gui>Text Entry</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
       <p>Click the <gui>+</gui> button, select <em>Hangul (Fcitx)</em>, and click
       <gui>Add</gui>.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>

    <p>This will make <em>Hangul</em> available in the Fcitx input source indicator
    in the menu bar. (The design differs from the IBus equivalent.)</p>

    <p>If you prefer some other IM engine than the one which is installed
    automatically when you install a language, you can
    <link xref="addremove-install">install</link> the IBus or Fcitx IM engine of
    your choice separately.</p>
