A video testing keyboard input shows that even when the Shift or Caps Lock keys
are pressed, the letters typed remain unchanged.
DESCRIPTION
When using fcitx5 under Plasma Wayland session, keyboard modifier keys
(Shift/Caps Lock) fail to work correctly in pure Wayland applications. Pressing
Shift + Letter or Caps Lock + Letter only outputs lowercase letters, and
pressing Shift + Number keys fails to output symbols.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log into a KDE Plasma Wayland session.
2. Ensure Fcitx5 is set as the Virtual Keyboard in System Settings.
3. Launch Fcitx5 and open a native Wayland application (e.g., Konsole).
4. Switch to the Fcitx5 English keyboard layout (Keyboard - English).
5. Attempt to type uppercase letters using Shift or Caps Lock, or attempt to
type symbols using Shift + Number row keys.
OBSERVED RESULT
Modifiers seem to be ignored.
- Typing `Shift + A` outputs `a`.
- Turning on Caps Lock and typing `A` outputs `a`.
- Typing `Shift + 1` outputs `1` instead of `!`.
EXPECTED RESULT
Modifier keys should work as expected, outputting uppercase letters and
symbols.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon (Testing/Unstable)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.27.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
Architecture: Aarch64
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. When switching to other input methods within fcitx5, such as Pinyin, typing
uppercase letters works, but typing symbols using `Shift + Number keys` still
fails.
2. Workaround observation: If I force-set `GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx`,
`QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx`, and `XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx` variables in
`/etc/environment`, the Shift/Caps Lock keys work perfectly fine in Wayland
apps. Although doing so would cause a visual bugs.
