# what is IBus?
|
|
|
|
IBus is an input method framework that is commonly used on Linux- and BSD-based
|
|
operating systems in order to allow input in languages with complex input
|
|
methods, such as Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
|
|
|
|
A user by the name of `cominixo#5443` (aka "jan Komi") has submitted to the
|
|
Discord community "ma pona pi toki pona" the following guide to using IBus to
|
|
type [sitelen pona](en/sitelen_pona) (with codepoints as defined by the UCSUR
|
|
document). With permission, it (and the data file required) are reproduced here.

If you're on Linux, you can use IBus with tables, download the following file
|
|
and run these commands (nanpa lili?):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ibus-table-createdb -n /usr/share/ibus-table/tables/tokipona.db -s sitelen_pona_ibus.txt
|
|
ibus-daemon -drxR
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open "IBus Preferences", go to "Input Method", click "Add" and then select
|
|
"sitelen pona" (which will be the last option under "English").
|
|
|
|
Use `[`,`_`,`]` for cartouches, `pi_` to start long pi and `'` to extend long pi
|
|
(these can be changed if you edit `sitelen_pona_ibus.txt` and re-run the
|
|
commands)
