OpenBangla with Hyprland (archlinux) and i3 (archlinux)

[mub-drk]

Describe the Feature

Hypreland , i3 (archlinux)

In the wiki there are steps to setup OpenBangla with Gnome , Unity, Mate, KDE & Cinnamon . Archlinux with Hyprland is a very popular setup , but there is no instructions for setting up OpenBangla with Hyprland(arch). These are also true for i3.

---

I'm just a normal user of Hyprland (arch) with end_4 dots dots and i3 (arch) with my own config ; by no means its impressive .But here are my dots . Feel free to suggest me anything .

Thanks to everyone , who made it even possible .

You can use OpenBangla Keyboard with fcitx5 in Hyprland. Unfortunately it is still in the develop branch of the openbangla keyboard.

For i3, you can easily use it with ibus. Just follow the instructions for build manually.

If you want I have a script to install openbangla keyboard manually for fcitx5 input method. Have a look:

@mub-drk Can you try out compiling the develop branch and check if fcitx5 works on hyprland and i3?

I am not an ArcLinux user so I can't test it out easily.

Thank you! 😊
