[SOLVED] Fcitx5 isn't properly changing layouts in other applications

Another day, another issue.

Today, Fcitx5 isn't feeling like letting me use another language but English on the monolith, using a Plasma session based on X11.

To explain further, I can use another language like Hebrew for example (זהו טקסט נסיון) on Firefox, and I can change layouts using Meta/Super+Space, but trying to do it in a program like LibreOffice does nothing but press the spacebar (as in, add a space), or just in general throughout KDE.

This slightly annoys me.

notice to anyone also having this issue: I recommend you use /etc/environment and just leave it there.

## Xim:
1.  `${XMODIFIERS}`:

    **XMODIFIERS is not set**

    **Please set environment variable XMODIFIERS to "@im=fcitx" using the tool your distribution provides or add `export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx` to your `~/.xprofile`.

    Xim server name is the same with that set in the environment variable.

## Qt:

        QT_IM_MODULE=
        IM_MODULE_CLASSNAME=QComposeInputContext

3.  qt6 - `${QT_IM_MODULE}`:

    Found fcitx5 im module for qt6: `/usr/lib/qt6/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitx5platforminputcontextplugin.so`.

    Following error may not be accurate because guessing Qt version from path depends on how your distribution packages Qt. It is not a critical error if you do not use any Qt application with certain version of Qt or you are using text-input support by Qt under Wayland.

Re: [SOLVED] Fcitx5 isn't properly changing layouts in other applications

I have been putting environment variables in "~/.xprofile". Is that bad?

yea, I had a read. I'll start using /etc/environment for that. Thanks for the help, seth. You're a real one.
