> 1. Are any of those settings ones that you would often want to change *while* typing? (If so, maybe they should be in the indicator menu, not just in System Settings.)
Except for the Simplified/Traditional switch under limited circumstances, there should be no need to change any of these settings while typing. > 2. Why is the default number of candidates 5? Interesting question, but this is for the maintainers of the pinyin package to figure out. It probably has to do with the maximum acceptable size of the candidate list when it's laid out horizontally. Sometimes you might have candidates with 2 or more characters, other times you have only 1. If you have a fixed number of candidates, sometimes 5 is too few, and sometimes 5 is just right (most of the time it's too few). Windows handles this by clipping the candidate list to a fixed width (so the number of candidates shown is variable). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1259306 Title: "Text Entry Settings" should provide option to manipulate input method settings Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Create a button on the "Text Entry Settings" interface to launch preferences dialog box for input methods. e.g. For ibus-pinyin, the button would launch /usr/lib/ibus/ibus- setup-pinyin. Why is this an issue? Because there are many settings that may be relevant to users in the setup dialog, e.g. Simplified/Traditional Chinese input, Half/Full width punctuation, Horizontal/Vertical candidate list, Number of candidates in candidate list (the default of 5 is probably not enough).
