Public bug reported:
This isn't a bug actually. But this is an usage issue. A program is what
written for using, right?
Vietnamese freestyle input in all input method is common input method in
Vietnam. I do not know any people nowaday who prefers classic input
method.
Basically, freestyle allows people to mark tone by typing tone mark at the end
of the word.
For ex: chaof banj (type tone mark at last char, telex freestyle) = chafo bajn
(tone mark after vowel, m17n vi-telex behavior, be accepted by freestyle) =
chào bạn (vietnamese).
Freestyle also allows people remove placed tone mark by typing z at the end of
the word (z and w do not exist in Vietnamese alphabet).
For example: chaofz banj = chao bạn
There were some workarounds for this but they partially work, buggy or
not at all (google for vi-telex-nikkel, vi-telex-ndt, scim-vietnamese-
input-extra...)
Please consider adding freestyle to vi-* (vi-telex, vi-vni, vi-viqr),
because without freestyle, Vietnamese input method is not usable and
Ubuntu/Linux for Vietnamese is impossible.
