Hello,

So for last few months I have developing a Bengali [1] Programming language 
called Pankti.

As bengali alphabet is a complex and unicode, I was able to show bengali 
characters by embedding a custom font "Kalpurush". But to write Bengali in the 
Editor field I need to use Ibus, but Ibus inputs not working in Editor only I 
am able to Write English.

Can you folks help me identify the problem?

Here's the whole code I am trying to run ->

There is a simple-yet-dissatisfying answer to your problem: I don't
think anyone has contributed ibus support for Gio. We have IME support
on Windows and macOS, but not Linux. :C If you're interested in
helping us fix this deficiency, we'd be happy to provide some
guidance.

Cheers,
Chris

To be frank, I'm not that pro in go :'(

BTW, if possible, you can provide some pointers here to a potential fix; 
any future contributors may find those helpful.

Thank you.

There is several existing relevant repositories with Golang and
ibus.

This looks like the big daddy:

https://github.com/godbus/dbus

The readme says that fyne GUI library uses it, so that would be where to look for a good usage example.


These others may be useful:

https://github.com/jimbojsb/ibus-golang-rpi

https://github.com/BambooEngine/ibus-bamboo

https://github.com/rinleit/ibus-teni

https://github.com/varnamproject/govarnam-ibus

https://github.com/andodevel/ibus-telex

https://github.com/orgmatileg/dapur-online-akuntansi-backend



That should get you started.
