== Background ==
Plover is not officially supported on Wayland. There are several workarounds to deal with this. The <code>[https://github.com/LilleAila/plover-uinput plover-uinput]</code> plugin should (in theory) work across all systems running Wayland. It has been confirmed to work on the following setups:

* Fedora 40 GNOME 46

== Installation and setup ==

=== Plugin installation ===
The <code>plover-uinput</code> plugin is not in the plugins manager and has to be installed manually.

# Navigate to the folder containing the AppImage.
# Run <code>./plover-4.0.0rc2+6.g53c416f-x86_64.AppImage -s plover_plugins install plover-uinput</code>.
#* Note that the executable may be different if you're running a different version of Plover, or if you're not using the AppImage.
# Restart Plover.
# Go to <code>Configure → Plugins</code> and check the box next to <code>plover-uinput</code>.

For more detailed installation instructions, see the page on [[Plugins#Linux|manually installing plugins]].

=== Post-installation setup ===
Add your user to the <code>input</code> group with the following command:

<code>sudo usermod -aG input $USER</code>

Create a file at <code>/etc/udev/rules.d/90-plover-uinput.rules</code> with the following content:

<code>KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE="0660", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"</code>

For full Unicode support (emoji, accented letters, etc), install <code>ibus</code> or <code>fcitx5</code>.
{{Info|text=Distributions running GNOME already have <code>ibus</code> installed.}}
'''After setup has been complete, restart your computer to ensure the changes take effect.'''

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Verify <code>ibus</code> is working ===

# On a regular keyboard, press <code>Ctrl+Shift+U</code>.
# You should see an underlined <u>u</u> appear.
# Type <code>1f990</code> and press enter.
# You should see 🦐 appear.
