Description : Vietnamese input method for fcitx5
Ngó Sen is a Vietnamese input method for fcitx5. Its main mode writes
letters directly into the application without a preedit underline and
replaces the text before the cursor to apply tone marks, so address-bar
and search suggestions update with each key. A preedit mode is also
available. It includes a Qt settings window, macros and spelling checks.
Debian already ships fcitx5-bamboo and fcitx5-unikey, which type with a
preedit underline. Ngó Sen differs in its typing mode without preedit.
I am the upstream maintainer and would like to maintain the package
within the Debian Input Method Team. I am not a Debian Developer and
will need a sponsor.
The typing core is the Rust crate bamboo-core, which is not yet in
Debian. Its current release accepts the phf version in sid, and I plan
to package it through the Debian Rust team first.
