Chewing method not working on Fedora 36 awesomewm
Hello, I am on Fedora 36 KDE spin, however I have installed awesomewm and started to use awesome on Fedora. It seems that chewing doesn't work on Fedora with fcitx5. I have installed the packages fcitx5-chewing and fcitx5 on fedora KDE spin. ~/.zshenv has the following lines:
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx```
After moving the chewing selection from the input methods on the right side of fcitx5-configtool and clicking apply, ctrl+space does not work on any program. I have made sure I have GTK and QT packages. Autostart is done by awesomewm. Rebooting has done nothing and I have checked that fcitx does autostart.
I would submit an entry of fcitx5-diagnose if requested.
I guess you need fcitx5 instead of fcitx in environment variables. This is what I use on Arch Linux:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx5
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx5
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx5
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx5 export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx5 export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx5
This unfortunately didn't work. After trying out several methods such as iBus, Chinese input still does not work.
Could you try the following steps:
- Run
fcitx5in a terminal - Run
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx5 firefoxin another terminal
And check if fcitx5-chewing works with Firefox? If not, please paste terminal outputs from fcitx5, thanks!
