How to enable fcitx input method in an fltk program running on linux?












0















I'm trying to input some Chinese characters in my fltk program running on linux but failed. I'm using fcitx, and specifically fcitx-googlepinyin as the Chinese input method.



The following code will produce a single window containing a single input box.



#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Input.H>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
Fl::scheme("GTK+");

Fl::background(35, 35, 35);
Fl::background2(90, 90, 90);
Fl::foreground(240, 240, 240);

Fl_Window *window = new Fl_Window(640, 480);

Fl_Input *input = new Fl_Input(20, 20, 200, 20);

window->end();
window->show(argc, argv);

return Fl::run();
}


When I click on the input box, I can't switch to my Chinese input method by pressing ctrl + space in the fltk program. But in other GUI programs like Firefox or Atom the Chinese input method works well.



I've set some variables as follows:



export XIM="fcitx"
export XIM_PROGRAM="fcitx"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="fcitx"
export QT_IM_MODULE="fcitx"

          After studying X input method, I discover that this is a bug in fltk >= 1.3.4 (fltk-1.3.3 has the correct implementation).



          On line 673 of src/Fl_x.cxx, the correct code should be XSetLocaleModifiers(""); instead of XSetLocaleModifiers("@im=");. Line 1329 has the same problem.



          Just correct these two lines of code and recompile the library, the input methods will work correctly again.



          I've also posted a bug report on the website of fltk, check it for more detail.

            After studying X input method, I discover that this is a bug in fltk >= 1.3.4 (fltk-1.3.3 has the correct implementation).



            On line 673 of src/Fl_x.cxx, the correct code should be XSetLocaleModifiers(""); instead of XSetLocaleModifiers("@im=");. Line 1329 has the same problem.



            Just correct these two lines of code and recompile the library, the input methods will work correctly again.



            I've also posted a bug report on the website of fltk, check it for more detail.
