Linux: Input methods (Fcitx etc.) do not work

[gerritsangel]

Telegram on Linux does not support input methods for East Asian languages. For example, fcitx does not work.

In other Linux programs pressing (for example) Ctrl+Space activates the input method. In Telegram, nothing happens. Also, you cannot select the input method with right clicking in the text box, as it would work in other programs.

I use default Qt input fields, I'm not sure how to make them support those features.

I think you should link libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so into telegram.Default,Qt5 supported ibus only.Qt5 supported input method is here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/

Ubuntu does not install fcitx-qt5 package for me, I could not find this plugin in Qt source and don't know where did you take one.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcitx-qt5

sudo apt-get install fcitx-frontend-qt5

I've tried that and got "E: Unable to locate package fcitx-frontend-qt5" on ubuntu 12.04. Maybe I should use 14.04 or some other version, but last time I tried it Telegram built on 14.04 failed to launch on 12.04, and built on 12.04 launches everywhere, I didn't have time then to figure out why.

Yeah, it is found in ubuntu 14.04, so I'll look into it some day.

@telegramdesktop many thanks!
This could be the last thing that stops me using telegram desktop on Linux :)

@telegramdesktop I hope it will support input methods soon.

Hi,owner. When you debug on QT5，please concern about these .so files in this folder.Add these to your QT creator environment. copy in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/
