By the way, are you using xfce4?

Hi zw963, So let me get this right... With your setup, and with emacs -Q, you can use fcitx as you wanted? And I imagine emacs is not running with xim as you disabled it for emacs. As for "Simple", did you change your settings more than you described here? If not, just restart your box. Fo...

Have you seen this one already? In slackware, i believe locale.sh is lang.sh. I guess you can just ignore the first part, and the important part is: export LANG [ -n "$LC_CTYPE" ] && export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" You might also want to contact this guy on the blog.

When using fcitx, are you using any input method engine for Chinese? For example, I use mozc as the input method engine for Japanese. And emacs (EIM) can directly work with mozc without passing by fcitx. So my guess is perhaps there are some other input engines that you like that can work directly f...

Have you also tried this ? If I disable xim on emacs by adding: Emacs*UseXIM:false in the ~/.Xresources, fcitx is not activated for sure with ctrl + space. My guess right now is probably fcitx is not fully compatible to emacs... I have not tested emacs with Ibus and SCIM, but since SCIM is dead and ...

Hi zw963, I still think it is a Salix specific problem. Perhaps people who use emacs do not use external IMEs, as it seems that emacs offers its own IME. I've just tried the emacs IME and it works OK. Have you already asked other Chinese colleagues if emacs and fcitx work well together?

By the way, perhaps it's better you recompile it for your system.

Create a directory, and put SLKBUILD, fcitx-4.2.7_dict.tar.xz and profile.d.tar.gz there.
Then 'sudo slkbuild -X' to recompile.

And what is your locale by default?

I am using fcitx-4.2.7 as I could not compile for 4.2.9. You can recompile with djemos' SLKBUILD . After testing some time, I see consistently IME works twice on emacs. And from the third time on, the IME stops working. To make it work again, I have to restart the sesson. Could you tell me how to r...

I install djemos' fcitxx-4.27, but can not active fcitx in my terminal. unless right menu
change input method to X input method.

You have to restart session or restart your machine.
