Oh. Thanks! I also check some wikis, I don't know why only firefox and chromium cannot use fcitx. All other applications works well with fcitx. On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 12:01 AM, XeCycle <xecycle@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi buddy, I am using fcitx for inputting chinese words. I got a problem. If I change my locale to en_US.UTF-8, I can not invoke FCITX by pressing the 'CTRL+Space'. After I changed my locale to zh_CN.UTF-8, FCITX worked well.

The question is can I use FCITX under the english locale? if I can, how to configure it?

I read the english wiki of fcitx and it says I should check my locale. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fcitx Well, only if I change locale to chinese, FCITX works. For some reasons, I dont want to work under a chinese environment. I find a little difference on wikis that chinese wiki says I can work under english locale, but the way I tried didn't work.

Any idea or solution? Thanks!!!

It should depend on the application, and not related to fcitx. IIRC fcitx itself won't refuse to work in no matter what locale.

There's an fcitx mailing list, too, and similar questions are already on the fcitx wiki.

Install 'fcitx-gtk2' and/or 'fcitx-gtk3'.

Cheers.
