How to know which input method is being used by my ArchLinux/KDE?
I am running ArchLinux with KDE and would llike to customize the keyboard.

The one you installed and configured. Is this a joke?
"I have found a number of interesting article" - and if they're not in the arch wiki you best forget about them asap.
Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … nalization and follow the links.

I think it isn't. I installed extra/plasma-desktop not every single package.
Do yo know which IM is default in taht package? If so, an answer is greatly appreciated. If not ...

I started from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg and followed a few linked pages, also a few that aren't in the wiki. Should I forget about any non-wiki page?
The text I've got there:
Tip: XIM is very old, you might have better luck with other input methods: SCIM, UIM, IBus, etc. See Internationalization#Input methods in Xorg for details.
isn't providing an answer to my doubt. Just hints.
Similarly also this article (yes, it's in the wiki!) isn't helping much. Thus I ask in the "newbie corner" before fiddling with my configuration files.
If I was an expert, I would have posted in a different forum or even found a solution on my own.

By looking at the plasma-desktop package I can see that scim and fcitx are optional dependencies. Whether you installed them, you could figure by loolking into your pacman log. Nobody else will *ever* know what you installed. Also arch doesn't tend to do things "by default" - unless you used a derivate like antergos, archanywhere, manjaro, ...
The wiki clearly states
and if unset attempt to fall back on XIM
So by looking at that variable you'd know what KDE is using ...
