🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents, briefly, the fcitx-imlist and bar commands. lowkey iconic of it.

fcitx-imlist is a small program that shows or changes your input method list. and the way this is so useful: it's for people who switch keyboard layouts constantly — like, sometimes you're typing on the built-in keyboard of your mobile PC, and sometimes you've got a whole different layout plugged in on an external keyboard, same PC. that's the exact chaos this tool was born for. fr fr. 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below. for a complete description, see the info(1) files. 💀 (go read those too, bestie, i'm just the appetizer)

  • -h, --help — shows a summary of the options. the classic "wait what does this do again" button. 🎀
  • -l, --list — lists the input method. boom, there they all are. ⭐
  • -s, --set — sets the input method list, separated by ',' when you've got multiple IM. it accepts 'us,mozc,jp' and so on. yes you literally just comma-separate them like a little playlist. 🍓
  • -t, --toggle — toggles the keyboard layout inside a set of multiple IM. flip, flip, flip. 🦋
  • -e, --enable — enables a keyboard layout. it accepts 'jp', 'us', 'mozc' and so on. one at a time, bestie. 💜
  • -v, --verbose — shows messages in detail. for when you need the whole story, not the summary. 🙈

😭 BUGS 😭

the program is currently limited to only work with the Fcitx 4.x. that's the constraint, and we respect it even if we don't love it.

the upstream BTS (that's the bug tracker, iykyk) can be found at https://github.com/kenhys/fcitx-imlist/issues. go file those bugs, that's how we grow. 🔥
