I found the solution! It's because ibus is properly installed. so do
`sudo apt remove --purge ibus`
after this, do
`sudo apt install ibus` (or build it from source using the tar.gz file here
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ibus)
reboot your PC.
Now do
`ibus-daemon -d -n --desktop=KDE`
This
meant to say "it's because ibus is improperly installed." I found this
out because I was getting errors opening Synaptic using KDEsudo that
basically said "could not find ibus daemon" etc. Now if only I could get
Synaptic to run outside of opening it with the terminal...

Joel, Please do the following in a terminal:
sudo apt purge ibus
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fcitx
sudo reboot
Everything should be back to normal after this.

I will reiterate to everyone that ibus is not the default input method
for Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu etc. They all use fcitx. If everyone having
this problem could just do as comment #25 suggests I strongly believe
their problem will be solved.

my keyboard input isn't controlled with fcitx, or ibus (I had to install
it) then what was it being controller by? 0_o spooky
