Input Methods
Input Methods
I type in more than one script, so I need a proper input method
framework rather than relying on whatever the desktop environment
ships with. Plus, the default AFNOR bépo layout is currently buggy,
with some dead keys not working properly, such as AltGr+s, but it
isn’t with fcitx5. Here’s the nixos.i18n-input module.
{
flake.modules.nixos.i18n-input = {pkgs, ...}: {
i18n.inputMethod = {
<<enable-fcitx5>>
<<fcitx5-addons>>
};
};
}Enabling fcitx5
fcitx5 is the input method framework I’ve settled on; it covers everything from CJK input to custom table-based methods.
enable = true;
type = "fcitx5";Addons
fcitx5-gtk gets fcitx5 working inside GTK applications, and the Qt
equivalents (fcitx5-configtool, fcitx5-with-addons) do the same for Qt
ones whilst also giving me a GUI to configure it all. fcitx5-mozc-ut
adds Japanese input through Mozc, and
qt6Packages.fcitx5-chinese-addons adds the table addons Chinese input
methods need. I don’t actually need this package for Chinese itself,
but it is somehow necessary for the X-SAMPA input method, which I get
from fcitx5-table-other. I have it to type IPA on the fly when working
on my constructed languages. Lastly, fcitx5-nord just reskins the UI
to match the rest of my setup.
