We do have fcitx in EPEL 7 repos, RHEL 8/ CentOS 8 need fcitx in EPEL 8 repositories :)
GNOME, the unique DE of RHEL8, may not support IME other than ibus.[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528892] So it is useless to package fcitx for EPEL8. Re-open if there is a real use case.
what ? its based on fedora 28 gnome 3.28 and we had fcitx on fedora 28 we have fcitx on all gnome based distros like debian ubuntu fedora.. its not unique DE of RHEL 8 what are you talking about ? fcitx is working in RHEL 7 and fedora latest gnome.
And i can confirm it worked on fedora 28 the bug u sent is on fedora 30 it should work in RHEL 8 as its based on fedora 28 .
RHEL8 even don't have the imsettings service as I check it from http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/centos/8.0.1905/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/ I can build the fcitx stack in a copr later and you can help figuring out how to enable it in GNOME of RHEL8, before doing real build for EPEL.
sure i'd be happy to help also for epel 6 and 7 we had im-chooser and other dependencies I would be sending package request to them.
also dont check just in Base OS mostly im-settings will land in EPEL when it will come as it was in epel 6 and epel 7 .
I have built fcitx and some of the input methods in a copr[0]. [0] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/cheeselee/fcitx-el8/
Thanks for the copr :)
Its working I added GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx These lines is /etc/profile and after re login, i opened fcitx and its working all this can be done by im-chooser but its not available yet so this is the way, adding this to the documentation would be a great help for others :)
Its only working on intel/AMD but system with nvidia drivers it doesnt work, i have 2 systems 1 uses wayalnd it has intel graphics and its working, on the other its on xorg as nvidia only supports xorg and its not workig :( Please check.
I can confirm its working on wayland standard xorg classic but its not working on xorg (standard)
Confirm this copr worked under mate desktop. Thanks a lot ! @Robin Lee !

It would be nice to have it as ibus doesn't work properly with, for example, openbox. I would like to see it with mozc which is now available with ibus. The fcitx-anthy COPR version didn't work for me. (CentOS-8 with NVidia).
BTW imsettings and im-chooser are in epel8 now for some time. (In reply to Scott Robbins from comment #14) > ibus doesn't work properly with, for example, openbox. Can you elaborate - is that known issue?
I don't think it's a known issue.It's been my experience since around the time of FreeBSD 9.1 (which is where I first found it to be the case, and also the case on CentOS of the time). What I find is that keyboard shortcuts don't work for me properly and I have to use the mouse. I never reported it because in each case, I wound up going to fcitx and, not seeing anyone else complain about it, assumed (yeah, I know what that implies) that it was something just affecting me. In the case of CentOS-8 it seems to be the same. The keyboard shortcut, either Windows+space or ctl+space don't change input. I have to do it in the task bar (tint2 in my case--also not available in CentOS-8) with the mouse.
If it helps, (though this bug is about fcitx) to be more specific, when I hit the keyboard shortcut (I set it as ctl+space) I am given the choice of English or hiragana but cannot select hiragana without using the mouse in the taskbar. I *can* go from Japanese to English with the shortcut.

This is great. I feel ungracious requesting this after your work but is there any way to get fcitx-mozc. (I was able to rebuild fcitx-anthy from an RHEL-7 srpm but anthy is old and not being maintained anymore, as far as I know.) Regardless, thank you very much!

That requires patching mozc itself, but mozc maintainer rejected our request several years ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406532 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1478741
Ah, I thought that because there was an ibus-mozc they might have changed their minds. Thanks. Then is there any chance of an fcitx-kkc package? (I don't remember if I used this in CentOS or only in Fedora though).

(I > don't remember if I used this in CentOS or only in Fedora though). There is a strange situation for fcitx-kkc and some other modules. fcitx-kkc requires libkkc-devel. But libkkc in CentOS/RHEL does not provides an -devel subpackage.
Figures. Ok, thank you for looking. If anyone is interested I did the fcitx-anthy by rebuilding srpms for anthy (which provided anthy-devel, IIRC) from EPEL-7. Then, once I'd installed fcitx, I was able to rebuild the srpm for fcitx-anthy.
