Tips for setting up fcitx input methods

[k10876]

I'd like to leave a note here for guys who want to enable Fcitx5 Pinyin support on this platform, especially packages fcitx-chinese-addon. It has taken me hours to work it out lol

The links I referred to are:
termux/termux-packages#19788
termux/termux-packages#22121

I followed these links to recompile the addons (the ones in the termux repo are broken and don't have dict by this time; hope that it is fixed).

Inside the start script of this project, consider putting the following:

export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

fcitx5 &

Put these lines AFTER the dbus initiation. This works for me.

You will not see fcitx5 at system tray. The UI will be broken, but the IME will work fine. Didn't figure our how to fix it though.

Consider putting pkill fcitx5 in the kill-termux-x11 script. It depends on your needs.

I'm a little noob in working with this. Please feel free to raise doubts regarding my setup. They will be really helpful for me.
