What's New in Keyman 18.0 for Linux

Here are some significant changes to Keyman for Linux 18.0:

  • Minimum supported Ubuntu version is now 22.04 Jammy LTS.
  • Other supported versions are Ubuntu 24.04 Noble LTS and Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular. Users that are running an older version of Ubuntu will have to continue using an older Keyman version.
  • Keyman no longer requires a patched version of ibus as Keyman now uses a system service to manage keystroke order (#11535).
  • Added support for simulation of AltGr (right Alt) with Ctrl+Alt (#11852)

Keyman for Linux 18.0.241:

  • onboard-keyman package no longer gets installed automatically when installing keyman. The reason is that it doesn't work properly with Wayland and is not available in the official Debian/Ubuntu repos (#14769). It is still possible to install it manually in your package manager, or in a terminal window with sudo apt install onboard-keyman.
