Bug ID: 435901
Summary: Package fcitx support for Kate's appimage
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tyson...@tysontan.com
Target Milestone: ---
fcitx is a widely used helper application to enable non-English character
input. It's basically a must-have for Linux users in Asian regions like
China/Japan/Korea/India.
At this moment, Kate from a distro's official repo can use fcitx without issue,
but it doesn't work inside our official appimages. A small Qt plugin must be
packaged in order to utilize the system's input source.
Either of the following plugins would work:
fcitx-qt5 (old fcitx)
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx-qt5
OR
fcitx5-qt (new fcitx)
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5-qt
We've figured it out in Krita's appimage packaging:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422465
(See Comment 4 by Weng Xuetian and Halla's commits in Comment 6, 7, 12)
It would be nice to have fcitx support packaged in Kate's appimages, otherwise
people in the fore-mentioned regions must use Copy-Paste to input their native
language.
Thank you for your time!
