[SOLVED] Japanese input not working with Anki

I'm using Ibus with mozc for japanese input, and typing with it in Anki only gets me roman characters. It works perfectly with Firefox, Leafpad and Discord, but not with Anki.

I'm using KDE as a desktop environment. I've installed ibus-qt as well, nothing changed.

"~/.xinitrc" and "~/.xprofile" both have
export GTK_IM_MODULE='ibus'
export QT_IM_MODULE='ibus'
export XMODIFIERS='@im=ibus'
in them, no change.

I should add that I've had the same problem before, with japanese input and Steam. The issue persisted on multiple linux distros and with multiple japanese input packages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm enjoying the OS and most problems I've been able to solve so far with googling, but this one just won't budge at all.

edit: solved by switching to fcitx, following the Arch section of this guide and installing all packages displayed on pacmanning fcitx-im

Re: [SOLVED] Japanese input not working with Anki

I ran into the same problem - fcitx input working fine with Firefox but not Anki. Installing `fcitx-qt5` fixed the problem. Here is the relevant section of my `.bash_profile`:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
