FEDORA20/22 Installing FCITX Input Method

FEDORA20 default installation is the IBUs input method, there are some reasons let us choose Fcitx Input Method:

• IBUs the word order has a bug

  When entering a person's name, some of the names are entered two or three times and will not appear in the alternative, and some of them will be switched to IBUs.

  For this reason, I have switched to Rime ime.

• Need an input method that can be used under Sublime_text

  IBUs and Rime input methods are not.

• IBUs Input Panel under Gnome3 too ugly

  Personal prefer QQ Input method, or fcitx The default tray shape-double rectangular box, give people a stable and fast feeling.

Installation Instructions

One of the most frustrating things about using Linux is that the Chinese input method cannot be switched out, and even people mistakenly think that to use the Chinese input method, regional and language (region & Language) must be set to Chinese-Chinese. IME is just a software, and locale is not necessarily associated with anything. If you choose Chinese when you initialize the system, it will help you to pack and install the Chinese input method.

Therefore, the default installation of IBUs does not have to be uninstalled.

Yum Install command

sudo yum install fcitx-pinyin sudo yum install fcitx-configtool sudo yum install Im-chooser

If you forget to install Fcitx-configtool , you have this command in your system, but when you call it, you get an error:

You are running FCITX under the graphical interface, but Fcitx-configtool is not found, the package name is usually FCITX-CONFIG-GTK,FCITX-CONFIG-GTK3, or fcitx-config

So, please install Fcitx-configtool.

Gsetting Configuration

Ordinarily, this time to use the im-chooser choice of input method for FCITX. If you choose FCITX after the error display:

GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark. imsettings 2derror_2dquark. Code5:current desktop isn ' t targeted by imsettings.

To view the log, the key sentence is:

info:attempting to switch IM to FCITX [Lang=en_us.utf8, Update=true] org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard.active  Is true. Imsettings is going to be disabled.

This requires the gsetting to be set:

Gsettings Set Org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard Active false

Now go to set Im-chooser to select Fcitx, reboot can be used.

FCITX Configuration

FCITX default shortcut keys are more bizarre, use fcitx-configtool to configure.

In the global configuration of the Express key and show advanced options, I set the toggle Active/Inactive Input method to the left Shift, the Input method toggle key set to Ctrl+shift.
