fcitx5 support

[formadi]

I use fcitx5 for multilingual input in terminal emulators, but currently, I cannot use fcitx5 in kitty, wezterm, or foot.

In the case of foot, the following messages are displayed:

> foot  
warn: wayland.c:1612: compositor does not implement the primary selection interface  
warn: wayland.c:1615: compositor does not implement XDG activation, bell.urgent will fall back to coloring the window margins red  
warn: wayland.c:1624: compositor does not implement server-side cursors, falling back to client-side cursors  
warn: wayland.c:1630: compositor does not implement the XDG toplevel icon protocol  
warn: wayland.c:1636: text input interface not implemented by compositor; IME will be disabled

googling i have found this. it seems like fcitx5 does not really like wayland, and recommends running it under xwayland. owl does not support xwayland, so i can only recommend you try the fixes from that page.
i am sorry :(

check the config here, you may work around this by using different keymaps

It's possible to run "rootless" x-org (no xwayland), that's what Niri uses so check them. It seems to pretty much handle everything that xwayland can do on wayland but without need of implementing it. I never used fcitx myself but I see it every now and then being mentioned on hyprland or sway related forums and it seems to have quite a few problems on them too.

i will revisit this soonish, as there might be hope of fixing it, no guarantees tho
