Japanese IME (fcitx5-im, fcitx5-mozc) input switching doesn't work after Manjaro update

When pressing the configured hotkeys to swap input methods, nothing happens. I checked my KDE settings and everything appears to be still configured.

I didn’t realize Manjaro was sneaking Wayland in on their updates, but this is a major deal breaker for me. The only solution I’ve found to this is to reinstall plasma-x11-session and use that instead of Wayland.

It is quite possible that applications which where working as expected when using x11 will work differently under wayland.

Please look at System Settings using the Application Permissions section.

Some aspects of Legacy X11 App Support can be configured especially application listening for keystrokes - which I reckon is one of the input switching’s primary functions.

There is no sneaking

Wayland has actually been available on Manjaro for quite some time, there are members here who have been using it for over 2 years. If you have been using KDE Plasma over that time, the option to switch to Wayland has been there on the login screen.

Both KDE and GNOME, are abandoning X11… this is something Manjaro has no control over. Indeed most, if not all Distributions will eventually move to Wayland, when their upstream DE moves to Wayland.

Starts off with running fcitx5-diagnose and taking action from the output.
This should point in the right direction to solve some issues.

Have you added Mozc to Input Method with fcitx5-configtool?
