Solution to fcitx Chinese Input Method in Sublime Text 2 in Ubuntu

The Linux version is Ubuntu 13.04 beta 2, and fcitx sogou input method is installed by the way. However, it is found that Chinese characters cannot be entered in sublime text 2. fcitx entered normally in Ubuntu 12.04.2, but there are some minor issues.

Based on the principle of finding and solving the problem, we can find a solution. After posting on Google and the Forum, we found a solution.

Compile a shared library

1. Save the following code as a sublime-imfix.c File

/*
Sublime-imfix.c
Use LD_PRELOAD to interpose some function to fix sublime input method support for linux.

# Include <gtk/gtk. h>
# Include <gdk/gdkx. h>
Typedef GdkSegment GdkRegionBox;

Struct _ GdkRegion
{
Long size;
Long numRects;

};

GtkIMContext * local_context;

{

}
}

// This is needed, for example, if you input something in file dialog and return back the edit area

}

}

2. Install the C/C ++ compiling environment and gtk libgtk2.0-dev

Sudo apt-get install build-essential

Sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

3. Compile the Shared Library

Gcc-shared-o libsublime-imfix.so sublime_imfix.c 'pkg-config -- libs -- cflags gtk +-1000'-fPIC

4. Start Sublime Text 2

Now, run the following command to start Sublime Text 2. You can use fcitx to enter Chinese characters!

LD_PRELOAD =./libsublime-imfix.so sublime_text

But in this case, every time we have to use the command in the terminal to start sublime text 2, this is very inconvenient, next we also need to modify the sublime-text-2.desktop to reach click the icon to start.

Open terminal go to applications modify sublime-text-2.desktop

Cd/usr/share/applications

Sudo vim sublime-text-2.desktop.

After opening the sublime-text-2.desktop

Exec =/usr/bin/sublime-text-2% F

Change

Exec = bash-c 'LD _ PRELOAD =/usr/lib/libsublime-imfix.so/usr/bin/sublime-text-2' % F

In addition

Exec =/usr/bin/sublime-text-2 -- new-window

Change

Exec = bash-c 'LD _ PRELOAD =/usr/lib/libsublime-imfix.so/usr/bin/sublime-text-2' -- new-window

Now, click sublime text2 in dash to start your code journey.
