[Fcitx5 wayland] Double space after compose key was used.

Closed this issue · 5 comments

Pan-Svichka commented

Summary

When I use Ukrainian layout and press the compose key in order to use the special characters I need, fcitx5 forces me to press space 2 times before actual space appears. See the video below.

bug.mp4

And sometimes it even stucks in compose mode, and won't exit it after sometimes.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set up fcitx5 on wayland compositor like sway/hyprland.
  2. Set up xkb_options compose:ralt.
  3. Choose the US and Ukrainian layouts as 2 input methods.
  4. Open libreoffice/discord/etc.
  5. Switch to Ukrainian layout.
  6. Press compose key and then dash/plus/s/k key

Expected Behavior

After using special character there should not be any need in second space in order to get "the true space"

Can you run fcitx5-diagnose again with your own user?

I think the issue is that you're using sway, which input method has no way to know the xkb option being set. So there's a workaround to manually set the xkb layout option in the global config. Can you check "override xkb option" and set the custom xkb option to ralt:compose in the global config?

Pan-Svichka commented

here the nonroot diagnose from hyprland (because i accidentally broke sway and don't have time to fix it)
nonrootFCITX5.txt

And i have put ralt:compose in fcitx5 custom xkb option after enabling "Override xkb option", but if it all stays the same. Tho if i comment kb_options = compose:ralt line, the issue with double space is gone, but now compositor will just use the ralt as just alt_L

wengxt commented

I'm not sure about what's your expectation, but I believe compose is just work like that.

Compose means you need to press a sequence of key to produce a character.

The default config is located at : /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

The default config contains following:

<Multi_key> <space> <space>>>−−−: " ">−−nobreakspace # NO-BREAK SPACE

Which means, RAlt, space, space will produce this "no break space" character (U+00A0). It's not a normal space.

I wonder if you're actually asking for level3 as RAlt option?

wengxt commented

"lv3:ralt_switch" the xkb option name that use Ralt as ISO_Level3_Shift.
"compose:ralt" will make ralt to produce Multi_key

Thank you very much! The issue is gone now! I would never new that this was this option wrong all along!
