* 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.
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle yes
|
||
{
|
||
flake.modules.nixos.i18n-input = {pkgs, ...}: {
|
||
i18n.inputMethod = {
|
||
<<enable-fcitx5>>
|
||
<<fcitx5-addons>>
|
||
};
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** Enabling fcitx5
|
||
[[https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Fcitx_5][fcitx5]] is the input method framework I’ve settled on; it covers
|
||
everything from CJK input to custom table-based methods.
|
||
#+name: enable-fcitx5
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
enable = true;
|
||
type = "fcitx5";
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** 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.
|
||
#+name: fcitx5-addons

#+begin_src nix
