Cannot use IME in Chromium with wayland

I cannot use fcitx in chromium when using wayland. ibus doesn't work either.

With X11 they work prefectly, and with wayland others apps I tried worked.

I'd like to use wayland because chromium in X11 doesn't seem to support pinch to zoom.

Could you provide any help? What else useful informaiton may I provide?

Re: Cannot use IME in Chromium with wayland

You need to run it in Wayland mode with GTK 4, see also https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is … id=1183262

quick check: for pid in $(pidof chromium); do grep -i gtk /proc/"$pid"/maps; done

should list gtk4 libraries and also gtk4 fcitx5 immodules

unfortunately gtk4 has another issue for me, I can no longer type Modifier characters (altgr) - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is … id=1364520

even though that was supposed to be fixed already

there's always another bug somehwere

This solves the problem. Fortunately I do not use altgr. Thank you.
