Fcitx is an input method framework with extension support. Currently it
|
|
supports Linux and Unix systems like freebsd. Fcitx supports typing
|
|
with many languages all over the world with a large number of engines.
|
|
|
|
Fcitx has a slim core while provides powerful features with addons. It
|
|
is easy to customize fcitx to satisfy your own needs.
|
|
|
|
Fcitx5 is the next generation of fcitx.
|
|
|
|
Some cmake options to keep in mind before building are:
|
|
|
|
- ENABLE_WAYLAND: Wayland support. Defaults to On and should be fine
|
|
for desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME. Users running
|
|
X11-based window managers will need to turn it off.
|
|
|
|
- ENABLE_ENCHANT: Enchant support. Defaults to On. Used for word
|
|
prediction (hinting). Depends on libenchant, which is provided by
|
|
most distributions.
|
|
|
|
The user is encouraged to check the contents of CMakeLists.txt for an
|
|
exhaustive list of options.
|
|
|
|
For example, an i3 user who wishes to install it to /opt would run
|
|
(likely with sudo privileges):
|
|
|
|
cmake -DENABLE_WAYLAND=Off \
|
|
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path .
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
To make fcitx5 the default input method, please add these lines to your
|
|
/etc/environment (or .profile):
|
|
|
|
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
|
|
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
|
|
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
