Behavior of chromium with fcitx5(Japanese input system)

[1m-N00b]

Thanks for such a great project!
I am also a fan and user of maximbaz's dotfiles and I recently migrated to hyprland-autoname-workspaces as well. Config is same like this

So I'm asking for your advice.
I am Japanese and use fcitx5, a Japanese input software, but only chromium recognizes suggestions as follows. I would like to disable it somehow because it flickers every time I type.

By the way, this does not happen with firefox, kitty terminal, code oss, etc. Example: firefox

Hey 👋 Do you think you could catch the output of hyprctl clients? For example run sleep 5 && hyprctl clients and try to get that second icon on waybar 😉 By looking at it we might identify something about it, and use it to hide that icon later on.

Hey @1m-N00b ,
can you post me a $ hyprctl clients -j | jq . please before and after typing in the chromium search bar?

sleep 5 && hyprctl clients -j | jq . like this:

I tried fcitx = "", but I am a little concerned about the following behavior that flickers a little because of the single-byte space entered. Of course, it can be fixed by deleting the underbar(waybar config).

Thanks @1m-N00b .
I'm polishing a fix that will allow you to exclude fcitx.

[cyrinux]

You did a good temporary hack by setting fctix icon to void, but it will be better optimize by exclude the exclude list then.

[cyrinux]

@1m-N00b could you please try the new version ?
You have to add to your config:

[exclude]
fcitx = ""

Also, after a first run of the app, if you don't migrate the config manually, you will have [icons] as first line.

[1m-N00b]

Hi fixed it :)
Thank you for implementing this.

[cyrinux]

@1m-N00b you have to use fcitx = "*" to exclude fcitx window with the last version please 😉
