[newyorkthink]

i using the fcitx5 to input chinese

i using the typora to compare teams

the teams cannot input chinese but typora it can using

the bug is your appimage not full gtk lib file

[newyorkthink]

and you need export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

add appimage apprun

Hi @newyorkthink, thanks for reporting.

Can you use the template and try with another packaging system? This is to ease finding the problem and solution (if there is any).

I suspect it's related to https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/33662 and that would mean we are fairly blocked.

you need add this

Detect input method framework

if pgrep -x "fcitx5" > /dev/null; then export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx echo "Using fcitx5" elif pgrep -x "fcitx" > /dev/null; then export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx echo "Using fcitx" elif pgrep -x "ibus-daemon" > /dev/null; then export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus echo "Using ibus" else echo "No fcitx, fcitx5, or ibus detected, falling back to default" fi

# Detect input method framework
if pgrep -x "fcitx5" > /dev/null; then
    export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

Thanks for the info! I got a few changes on the go, and holidays will slow things down for a bit, but I will try to add it at some point.

If anyone needs it faster, I would appreciate a PR.

I mark it as a 'workaround available'. Thanks for reporting and providing a workaround!
