# ibus input method for [bqn]
now you can write in any window with the same [map] as the web demo!!! wow
## requirements
- ibus (i dont remember how to actually set it up sorry)
- ibus-table
## installation
- `sudo make install`[^sudo]
- `ibus-daemon --daemonize --replace`
- add the input method in ibus and have fun
## deficiencies
- ibus-table doesn't seem to allow a map for `\␠`, so `‿` is mapped to `\n` instead
- it assumes a US base layout so things will be in the wrong place otherwise
- the popup is kind of distracting
- if you type `\7` it explodes and you have to reselect the layout before it
starts working again. literally no idea why
## additions
| char | input | char | input |
|------|-------|------|-------|
| ⇒ | `\|` | ⦂ | `\Y` |
## unused keys
\C, \D, \J, \N, \U, \y, (\7 but [it breaks](#deficiencies))
[^sudo]: i tried a few places in `~/.local` and stuff but none of them seemed to
work. if you know where to put user-local tables hmu
