I was hoping someone might be able to give some pointers about where to look for next steps. I run a Manjaro machine using Wayland sessions, which has become a bit of an issue. Keyman v 16.0.144-1 is available via the Arch User Repository, but that project seems to be dead, and the maintainer has not made an update in two years.
I was able to take their PKGBUILD file and make an attempt at modifying it for use with version 17.0.335 which is supposed to properly support Wayland, but this realistically is somewhat beyond my skill. I got something which successfully builds and installs everything (or so it would seem), but the integration between Keyman and IBus somehow seems to be lacking, since the keyboards I install in Keyman do not appear as options in the IBus menus, despite restarts. Likewise, running ibus list-engine | grep keyman returns no results, seemingly indicating that ibus is not aware of Keyman’s existence.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to remedy this situation? The PKGBUILD file I have created is provided, if anyone notices anything egregiously mistaken.
