Just installed EndeavourOS and am fairly new to Linux. I installed IBus and got Ibus-hangul for Korean installed without an issue. While everything else works perfectly and I can switch languages and type in Korean, when I set the keyboard to Korean the spacebar stops working. I know it’s not a hardware issue because when the keyboard is set to English, the spacebar works fine as shown in this post, but I’ve been combing through google/duckduckgo searches for the last 2 hours and can’t find a solution. Anybody know how to fix this so I can finally use my spacebar when I’m typing in Korean?
I’ve dabbled in Ubuntu and Kali before and I’ve never had this issue before so I’m extremely confused ngl
Welcome to the community @demothesis ,
Have you edited sudo nano /etc/locale.gen
and uncommented ko_KR.UTF-8 UTF-8
ctrl+o, ctrl+x sudo locale-gen
?
Are you on Plasma wayland?
So, you read this
used neovim instead of nano but yes, I did uncomment that part in locale.gen and ran sudo locale-gen, set the virtual keyboard to IBus Wayland and installed the fonts.
I can swap to and type in Korean perfectly. 한글-쓰는데-문제는-없어요, but the spacebar still isn’t working. I even removed the toggle shortcuts that use the spacebar and use the right alt key as described in the tips and tricks section of the wiki you linked to me (my laptop was purchased in Korea so it has a toggle key instead of an alt key there anyways), but yeah, the spacebar doesn’t work when I’m typing in Korean still.
