Do you have fcitx-gtk2 and fcitx-gtk3 installed?
I repeat, I'm not an expert on this, my skill is in googling and finding
out how others got it done, then just copying that and summarizing it. :)
Thank you, tried that but no difference. I have temporarily deactivated Chinese
and am just trying to switch between two western languages. Again, this works
fine in a terminal session but not in any GUI program I tried, including
firefox, thunderbird, geany.
I do have both fcitx-gtk2 and fcitx-gtk3 installed.
I suspect there may be some configuration setting I have missed but since there
is no graphical configuration utility it's hard to figure out what might be
wrong by just looking at the several configuration text files.
What about, from terminal, doing something like
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx firefox
(the zh_TW.Big5 is just a guess, one that I saw googling lc_ctype for
Chinese.).
These are just guesses on my part. I've not had a similar issue, save for
the firefox thing on FreeBSD that I mentioned.
Interesting, that seems to work! Will check it out more tomorrow. However, it
seemed to work only for firefox (that you have on the command line), it did not
work for thunderbird or geany.
The Big5 is likely not correct but I will check tomorrow.
Thought: I do have XMODIFIERS and GTK_IM_MODULE set in .bashrc:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
I guess that these settings in .bashrc are picked up by the terminal only and
not by GUI applications?? If so, there is maybe another file I need to add them
to?
