Great, glad to hear it.  Thanks for following up. ;)



One more issue: while I can now switch between the two western keyboards and 
pinyin in the applications I use, as soon as I move between entry fields the 
keyboard selection resets to the default. Very annoying when you are using a 
second-choice western keyboard in an application and the keyboard selection 
constantly resets as you move between entry fields.

The pinyin setting, on the other hand, remains as chosen which is the expected 
behavior. I use the default Ctrl-Space to activate/deactivate pinyin and right 
Ctrl-right Shift to move between the keyboard settings.

Given the absence of a graphical configuration tool for fcitx in CentOS I am 
not sure where/how I can change the behavior for keyboard selection so that it 
does not change within any given application. Scott, do you know?

Thank you.

It might be worth creating a new user and seeing if it works for said user.

I don't know if you mentioned what desktop you use, but it might also be
worth, with said new user, trying openbox (available from EPEL) or some
other less intrusive desk environment to see if there's something Gnome is
doing.


I am using Mate. When in a terminal window I run

XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GB18030 GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx geany

Geany seems work as expected, i.e., I can switch between the two western 
keyboards and also activate pinyin using Ctrl-Space. There does seem to be some 
bug in fcitx however in that sometimes switching in and out of pinyin also 
changes the keyboards and the first time I am in geany launched as described, 
Ctrl-Space does not work, I have to click the systray icon to switch to pinyin, 
after that Ctrl-Space does work.

For some reason my setup does not pick up the GTK_IM_MODULE setting when 
launching a GTK program from the desktop...

At least, that's what I think.

Interesting, that seems to work! Will check it out more tomorrow. However, it

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

In the FreeBSD install where this was an issue in firefox, I had them in
.bash_profile, I think.  Or maybe .bashrc.  :) I don't remember.  But the
only thing I remember being an issues was Firefox, and the only variable I
had to add at the time was changing LC_CTYPE from English to Japanese.


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?

Try .bash_profile, (and then log out and log in.)


Still struggling here. Adding them to .bash_profile does not make any 
difference. I /think/ I need to put them somewhere so all GUI programs get 
initialized. Spending a couple of minutes on the 'net it seems .xinitrc i my 
home directory should be suitable. This file did not exist so I created it and 
made it executable.

Based on my googling, this is what I came up with:

#!/bin/sh

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GB18030
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

Restarting the computer has no effect, nor does executing this script in a 
terminal window and then running e.g. geany. However, when I put geany in the 
script itself everything works fine. Note, by the way, that I changed to the 
encoding above since I am doing pinyin and using simplified characters.

So, I now believe there is a place where I need to add these statements for 
them to have effect on system-wide GUI programs but where?

Well, I'm not the expert, especially at Chinese.

Well, I'm not the expert, especially at Chinese.  
I do remember in an older version of FreeBSD, to get it to work in firefox,
I would use
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 firefox

from a terminal, and it would then work. I never figured out why (it worked
with other GTK apps such as libreoffice.  Hrrm, I don't think I tried in
Thunderbird.

Ah, also, in my .xinitrc (I boot into text mode then run startx I have,
above the line calling the window manager

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 

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. :)

I prefer the manual way because I've gotten so used to it, but suspect the

Scott, I am back at this again. I am able to switch between Chinese and two 
western languages in terminal sessions but not in GUI applications such as LO, 
Thunderbird, Firefox... Only the default language works in these GUI 
applications.

What setting in fcitx might I be missing?

Thanks.

Apropos of the discussion this week with the person trying to get Chinese
input going on CentOS, I filed a request for enhancement with Fedora's EPEL
to add fcitx-anthy as a package.  Currently, I'm able to get it working
with the Fedora 20 rpm, but it would be nice to not have to search for it.

It's been assigned (I'm not sure how meaningful that is, depending upon the
assignee's free time), but anyone who would like to add their support to
the request can view the bug at
