Cannot type Chinese using fcitx5 under KDE

Hi I’m transferring to manjaro KDE, I cannot type Chinese even if I installed fcitx5.

Package I installed:

  1. fcitx5
  2. fcitx5-configtool
  3. fcitx5-chinese-addon
  4. fcitx5-gtk
  5. fcitx5-qt
  6. fcitx5-rime

I can only type Chinese in edge, but including vscode, kwrite, mousepad and other local applications I cannot type Chinese.

I don’t know why and seeking for help, thanks a lot!

As a new or infrequent forum user, you are encouraged to take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

The Update Announcements contain a Known Issues and Solutions section and should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):

inxi -zv8

Regards.

Please provide your system information as described (below) as this will no doubt help others to offer informed suggestions.

Regards.

Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

Note: By virtue of using the Manjaro forum you acknowledge and agree to follow Rules and Guidelines outlined; so, you really should read them:

Required Reading
Highly Recommended

Be prepared to provide output from commands when asked. It is equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Simply waiting for others to ask you questions can be counter-productive – typically, nobody has a :crystal_ball: at their disposal – instead, please help others to make informed suggestions based on information you provide.


System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

a) inxi command (long-form):

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

b) inxi command (short-form):

inxi -zv8

Running `inxi` within a `chroot` environment
  • Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
  • Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0
Your privacy is respected

When inxi is run using the --filter or -z parameters, any personally identifiable information is filtered from the resulting output. :eyes:


Update Announcements
