[newyorkthink]

i using the fcitx5 to input chinese

i using the typora to compare teams

the teams cannot input chinese but typora it can using

the bug is your appimage not full gtk lib file

[newyorkthink]

and you need export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

add appimage apprun

Hi @newyorkthink, thanks for reporting.

Can you use the template and try with another packaging system? This is to ease finding the problem and solution (if there is any).

I suspect it's related to https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/33662 and that would mean we are fairly blocked.

you need add this

Detect input method framework

if pgrep -x "fcitx5" > /dev/null; then export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx echo "Using fcitx5" elif pgrep -x "fcitx" > /dev/null; then export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx echo "Using fcitx" elif pgrep -x "ibus-daemon" > /dev/null; then export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus echo "Using ibus" else echo "No fcitx, fcitx5, or ibus detected, falling back to default" fi

# Detect input method framework
if pgrep -x "fcitx5" > /dev/null; then
    export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
    export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
    echo "Using fcitx5"
elif pgrep -x "fcitx" > /dev/null; then

Thanks for the info! I got a few changes on the go, and holidays will slow things down for a bit, but I will try to add it at some point.

If anyone needs it faster, I would appreciate a PR.

I mark it as a 'workaround available'. Thanks for reporting and providing a workaround!

@newyorkthink I tried your method but it still doesn't allow me to use fcitx in teams-for-linux

我用的是Obsidian,也是appimage 无法同时用fcitx5（wayland）。 解决方法：https://forum.obsidian.md/t/ime-fcitx-doesnt-work-when-wayland-is-enabled/79941/3

🙃

[xulongwu4]

@liruohrh Yes, --enable-wayland-ime is the flag that is needed to make it work. Thank you!
