Fcitx5 is a lightweight input method framework with addon support.
Setup
The following is a simple NixOs configuration that'll setup fcitx5, its GUI config tool, and two addons.
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "fcitx5";
fcitx5.addons = with pkgs; [
fcitx5-mozc
fcitx5-gtk
];
};
Notably, NixOs automagically sets session variables that are required for fcitx5.
Troubleshooting
Add-ons Not Detected
Installing fcitx5 using environment.systemPackages can interfere with add-on detection.
Fcitx5 Doesn't Start When Using WM
As of NixOS 23.11 i18n.inputMethod.enabled no longer creates systemd services for fcitx5. Instead it relies on XDG autostart files. If using a Window Manager (WM), such as Sway, you may need to add services.xserver.desktopManager.runXdgAutoStartIfNone to your NixOS configuration.
See the NixOS 23.11 Release Notes for more information.
