The configuration depends on the desktop manager in use. For detailed instructions, please refer to the [upstream docs](https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/). + +On NixOS, you need to explicitly enable `ibus` with given engines before customizing your desktop to use `typing-booster`. This can be achieved using the `ibus` module: + +```nix +{ pkgs, ... }: { + i18n.inputMethod = { + enabled = "ibus"; + ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ typing-booster ]; + }; +} +``` + +## Using custom hunspell dictionaries {#sec-ibus-typing-booster-customize-hunspell} + +The IBus engine is based on `hunspell` to support completion in many languages. By default, the dictionaries `de-de`, `en-us`, `fr-moderne` `es-es`, `it-it`, `sv-se` and `sv-fi` are in use. To add another dictionary, the package can be overridden like this: + +```nix +ibus-engines.typing-booster.override { langs = [ "de-at" "en-gb" ]; } +``` + +_Note: each language passed to `langs` must be an attribute name in `pkgs.hunspellDicts`._ + +## Built-in emoji picker {#sec-ibus-typing-booster-emoji-picker} + +The `ibus-engines.typing-booster` package contains a program named `emoji-picker`. To display all emojis correctly, a special font such as `noto-fonts-color-emoji` is needed: + +On NixOS, it can be installed using the following expression: + +```nix +{ pkgs, ... }: { + fonts.packages = with pkgs; [ noto-fonts-color-emoji ]; +} +``` |
