IBus needs to be configured accordingly to activate <literal>typing-booster</literal>. The configuration depends on the desktop manager in use. For detailed instructions, please refer to the <link xlink:href="https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html">upstream docs</link>.

On NixOS you need to explicitly enable <literal>ibus</literal> with given engines before customizing your desktop to use <literal>typing-booster</literal>. This can be achieved using the <literal>ibus</literal> module:
|
|
<programlisting>{ pkgs, ... }: {
|
|
i18n.inputMethod = {
|
|
enabled = "ibus";
|
|
ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ typing-booster ];
|
|
};
|
|
}</programlisting>

<title>Using custom hunspell dictionaries</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The IBus engine is based on <literal>hunspell</literal> to support completion in many languages. By default the dictionaries <literal>de-de</literal>, <literal>en-us</literal>, <literal>fr-moderne</literal> <literal>es-es</literal>, <literal>it-it</literal>, <literal>sv-se</literal> and <literal>sv-fi</literal> are in use. To add another dictionary, the package can be overridden like this:
|
|
<programlisting>ibus-engines.typing-booster.override {
|
|
langs = [ "de-at" "en-gb" ];
|
|
}</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis>Note: each language passed to <literal>langs</literal> must be an attribute name in <literal>pkgs.hunspellDicts</literal>.</emphasis>
