[SOLVED] fcitx5 not work for kde plasma dolphin

~/.config/environment.d/im.conf

XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

Added Hidden=true to /etc/xdg/autostart/org.fcitx.Fcitx5.desktop according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fcitx5#KDE_Plasma and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Au … irectories

$ yay -Qs fcitx
local/fcitx5 5.1.14-1 (fcitx5-im)
    Next generation of fcitx
local/fcitx5-chinese-addons 5.1.9-1
    Addons related to Chinese, including IME previous bundled inside fcitx4
local/fcitx5-configtool 5.1.9-1 (fcitx5-im)
    Configuration Tool for Fcitx5
local/fcitx5-gtk 5.1.4-1 (fcitx5-im)
    Fcitx5 gtk im module and glib based dbus client library
local/fcitx5-pinyin-zhwiki 1:0.2.5.20250526-1
    Fcitx 5 Pinyin Dictionary from zh.wikipedia.org
local/fcitx5-qt 5.1.10-1 (fcitx5-im)
    Fcitx5 Qt Library (Qt5 & Qt6 integrations)

System Settings/Input & Output/Virtual Keyboard: Fcitx 5 / Fcitx 5 Wayland Lancher (Experimental) , both achieve the same result.

BTW
some other applications that doesn't work for fcitx5: kate, kwriter, konsole, qt creator, libreoffice
some applications work for fcitx5: chromium, vscodium

Re: [SOLVED] fcitx5 not work for kde plasma dolphin

The cause is that I've add an inline comment in im.conf, e.g.:

QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx # some comment

this config above doesn't work, the config below works:

QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
