+

+
+{{< altimg "mate-ibus-starting-daemon.jpg" "help-center/configuration/configuring-keyboard-layout/" >}}

+If you wish to have the IBus daemon start automatically every time you start Solus MATE, Open the Brisk Menu, click on "Preferences" and then on "Startup Applications".  Under the Startup Programs tab, click on "+ Add".
+
+{{< altimg "mate-startup-applications.jpg" "help-center/configuration/configuring-keyboard-layout/" >}}
+
+In the Command box, you will need to write `ibus-daemon --xim`.  If you wish, you can also fill in a Name and Comment but these are not compulsory. Once you are happy with your inputs, click the "+ Add" button. IBus will now run each time you boot your computer.
+
+{{< altimg "mate-ibus-add-startup.jpg" "help-center/configuration/configuring-keyboard-layout/" >}}
+
+Before you can start using your IME (Input Method Editor) of choice, have a look at the [IBus IME Package List](#ibus-ime-package-list) to see which package you require and then search for it in the Software Center. Click "Install" to add the IME.

+
+{{< altimg "ibus-ime-dependencies.jpg" "help-center/configuration/configuring-keyboard-layout/" >}}

This can be done by right clicking on the keyboard layout icon that IBus adds to the bottom panel system tray or by opening the Brisk Menu, clicking on "Preferences" and then on "IBus Preferences".

Korean does not appear in the initial list but can be found by clicking the `⋮` button (three vertical dots) and then searching for Korean. Click on the language you are looking for and then you should see an entry for the IME you installed. Select it and then click on "Add".
