Hyde version

v0.5.2-2-g387cc6b

Operating system/version

Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel:6.9.1-arch1-1

Describe the bug

I can use fcitx5 to input Chinese with any Application but vscode-oss. When the cursor is in vscode-oss, if I press the ctrl+space, it would rise the code hinting of vscode-oss and fcitx5 would not toggle into Chinese input method. Even though I can toggle input method by cilcking the fcitx5 icon, it still couldn't input Chinese in vscode-oss. I have tried many methods such as add environment vars, add some launch args, change locale.conf and so on, however , nothing changed. 我在这里也能正常输入中文。

Steps To Reproduce

1. After Hype install
2. install fcitx5-im, fcitx5-chinese-addons, fcitx5-gtk, fcitx5-pinyin-moegirl, fcitx5-pinyin-material-color, fcitx5-pinyin-zhwiki
3. add Chinese pinyin keyboard by fcitx5 configuration GUI application.
4. try input Chinese in vscode-oss

Expected Behavior

When the input method toggle to the Chinese pinyin with vscode-oss, I could input Chinese into vscode-oss.

@CharlesIsMeee I'm not familiar with those things but I am sure this might not be related to the dotfiles.

Here is the repo for code-oss you can raise this issue their https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

I would assume that fcitx5 works except for that specific application code-oss.

@kRHYME7 Thanks a lot, I do find some similar issues there. There is a long history Chinese input bug with the snap version of VS code. As far as I learned, the fcitx5 works well with the .deb version of VS code. So I just selected and installed another release of VS code called vscodium-bin from aur package, and it works fine with my fcitx5 and I can enter Chinese into it now. So the version of VS code installed by HyDE maybe is the same version as the snap one. However, Thanks for your help.

@CharlesIsMeee Great!

Users preferred using code-oss over the vscode which I guess both have the same issues.

vscodium is from the linux community verison of vscode and I this is supported with Hyde theming too, so you'll be fine with it. Glad this is solved.

@kRHYME7 Finally, I found the best method to adress this issue. Just removing the command args --ozone-platform-hint=wayland from the file ~/.config/code-flags or appending the --enable-wayland-ime to the same file to run the electron application under the native Wayland with the fcitx5 which usually works under X11. Here is the wiki https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Using_Fcitx_5_on_Wayland.I am very sorry that I did not discover this wiki earlier, which caused a waste of your valuable time. At the same time, thank you very much for your patient guidance
