Fcitx - Wayland Diagnose

[yuanhao]

I got this after boot up this morning

and my environment variable is like this

-> bsh > cat .config/environment.d/envvars.conf 
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

I went to wiki and in my understanding i should change

GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

to

GTK_IM_MODULE=wayland
QT_IM_MODULE=wayland

Is that correct? Thanks in advance!

KDE Plasma

Best setup:

• KDE Plasma 5.27
• Environment variables:
  • Set XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx for XWayland application
  • Start fcitx5 by go to “System settings” → “Virtual keyboard” → Select Fcitx 5
  • Do not set GTK_IM_MODULE & QT_IM_MODULE & SDL_IM_MODULE
  • Run chromium/electron application with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime
• Caveats:
  • Certain Gtk/Qt application that only works under X11 may still need to set GTK_IM_MODULE or QT_IM_MODULE for them individually.
  • If you set GTK_IM_MODULE/QT_IM_MODULE globally, you will hit this issue Candidate window is blinking under wayland with Fcitx 5

According to the above, you need neither GTK_IM_MODULE nor QT_IM_MODULE to be set.

Only: XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

I don’t use kde so I cannot test to verify.
