fcitx and ibus breaks my German layout keyboard <SOLVED>

[bch]

I have a Framework laptop with a German layout keyboard, although the bindings are English (eg where it says z on my keyboard, it's actually y).

My OS is Mint 21.1 Cinnamon.

I wanted to input Japanese, so I followed the built-in instructions in "Input Method": I installed the language support packages, changed the input method framework to fcitx, restarted, configured, and added Mozc.

The result is that I can input Japanese, but my "i" key doesn't work. Also, this when I exit fcitx, the keyboard layout stops being in English and starts being in German (ie the letters on the keyboard matches what gets inputted). This fixes itself if I change the input method framework back to "None" and restart my computer.

I tried using ibus instead, but that was the same, and also worse because I couldn't seem to turn it off, until I restarted my computer or something and it went away somehow (I don't know why).

If anyone knows how to solve this issue, either with fcitx / ibut / or some other alternative input method, I would be very happy.

I don't have a non-English keyboard but...

For iBus, right clicking the iBus tray icon shall provide you "Restart" or "Quit". So what do you mean by "couldn't seem to turn it off"?

[bch]

I don't exactly remember. I think what happened was I got rid of Japanese but forgot to properly switch back, so that when I restarted my computer to make the changes stick, I ended up having the broken keyboard issues still. I don't remember if there was a tray icon, or maybe there was and I tried to restart it multiple times and the issue still persisted. I just remember that the issues were more persistent than when I was using fcitx.

I think this might be a nothing-burger, because it probably just went away because I necessarily restarted my computer by turning it on again the next day.

My guess:
Since your keyboard is in German layout, there might be some code in Fcitx and/or iBus that run at quit time, which reset your keyboard layout setting to German by auto-detection.

For iBus, the default input method switching key is Super+Space (or one may call it Win+Space), which conflict with the built-in keyboard layout switching key of Cinnamon. To avoid problem, Cinnamon + iBus users shall disable the default keyboard layout switching setting by going to Menu > Keyboard > Layouts > Options > Switching to another layout then disable the key combo there.

Totally no idea why your I key doesn't work though.

Update: still doesn't work (on my Cinnamon boot)

I installed Linux Mint Xfce and Japanese input worked for that. One thing to note is that I have Ctrl and Capslock swapped on Cinnamon but not on Xfce. (I don't think this should matter though because on Cinnamon the issue persisted after resetting to defaults.)

I uninstalled fcitx and IBus on Cinnamon as well as uninstalled the language support for Japanese, and then reinstalled fcitx and IBus. (I followed https://howtoinstall.co/en/ubuntu/xenia ... ion=remove and related things on this site to try to uninstall fcitx, etc., as well as the dependencies and configuration files. I also did sudo apt-get remove fcitx* because there were other fcitx files.) Then I went through the steps as dictated by "Input method". The issue persisted. Also, fcitx wouldn't detect LibreOffice writer as an input window.

I am not sure if I properly uninstalled and reinstalled fcitx. When I opened the fcitx configuration GUI, I noticed that it already had Mozc added to the list of keyboards/inputs. My assumption was that, with Xfce being a fresh install, there would be no complications interfering with the keyboard; so I intended to recreate that kind of situation on Cinnamon to solve my issue.

I am also looking into using something other than fcitx or IBus, namely through using uim (though it's described as a input method library or something... I really don't know how any of this works).

[billyswong]

I don't think experimenting other input method framework is the proper solution here...

Personally I use IBus in MATE desktop. IBus (and I think same for Fcitx) can also setup "simple" keyboard layout such as English and German. So to reduce the complexity, one can remove "non-default" European keyboard layout in DE native keyboard setting, and set them up in IBus instead. Remember to go to IBus Preferences > Advanced > uncheck "use system keyboard layout", or this won't work.

With such setting, there is never a need to "quit" or "exit" the IME framework. And I have no problem in using IBus in LibreOffice myself.

Oh and here is my terminal output of setxkbmap -print

Code: Select all

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"	};
};

Since I use default English keyboard for login/lockscreen password input, there is no need for me to add anything else in DE native keyboard layout setting.

I fixed my issue.

Using https://linuxconfig.org/reprogram-keybo ... th-xmodmap I changed keycode 31 (the i key) to map to the correct key.

Using https://superuser.com/questions/268269/ ... ng-xmodmap I swapped my Ctrl and CapsLock keys. (Just swapping the values of their keycodes didn't work. Doing that resulted in both CapsLock and L_Ctrl functioning as CapsLock.)

Below is what my .Xmodmap file looks like:
