fcitx-configtool's Issues

Cannot switch input method (to Sunpinyin e.g.) for ONLY KF5 applications

I can switch input methods in Iceweasel, as well as Libreoffice, but not konsole nor kate. Pressing Ctrl+Space or manually clicking the tray icon to select other input methods (e.g. sunpinyin) does nothing. I am stuck with fcitx-keyboard-us-alt-intl-unicode for kde applications. I am using i3wm mainly, along with KF5 (such as Konsole, Kate, dolphin etc.) Here are my diagnosis output and config file.

Remove the "Only show current language" filter

This button/filter creates a mode on the UI and will surprise users who don't use the desktop in their native language (e.g. Japanese users who prefer the English UI but still want to type Japanese). It took me around 15 seconds and a few frustrating tries to realize that this button exists at all.

I understand that its purpose is to help the user find an appropriate IME quickly. I think this can also be achieved by sorting the IME list to show IMEs matching the current language on top.

The "super key" is confused, can change it to "win key" ?

Because the "super key " in most of keyboard is printed with a window logo,the "super key" is confused.

cannot see list of IMs in gtk3 config tool

When adding input methods using fcitx-config-gtk3, the list of input methods is always blank. However, fcitx-config-gtk (gtk2 tool) works fine.

无法正常显示输入法选择

From @hlx98007 on June 11, 2015 16:26

在Fedora 22中（通过fedup从f21升级的，f21没这个问题），fcitx无法正常显示输入法选择的画面，如下：

求解？

It seemed that it was looking for FcitxConfig.cmake inside fcitx's source code.
Can I compile it without fcitx source code?

setting of "Extra key for trigger input method" always reverts to the default after session restart

I changed "Extra key for trigger input method" to disabled using fcitx-configtool, it always reverted it back to the default "Shift Both" after restart current session. Following the suggestion from this link does not help neither, the configuration "profile" file will revert to the default. Please suggestion a way of permanently change this setting. Thanks.

Here are some related information:

$ inxi -S
   System:    Kernel: 4.4.0-31-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Cinnamon 3.0.7
   Distro: Linux Mint 18 Sarah

$ fcitx --version
fcitx version: 4.2.9.1

Should not expect `fcitx-remote` to be in the installation path of `fcitx-configtool`

Currently, we uses EXEC_PREFIX to locate fcitx-remote here and here, and EXEC_PREFIX is set to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

However, fcitx-remote may not be installed to the same directory as fcitx-configtool. The name of EXEC_PREFIX is quite ambiguous and misleading.

Now EXEC_PREFIX is only used to locate fcitx-remote, so maybe we can pass FCITX_REMOTE_PATH through cmake flags to make it clear and easier to customize?
