After upgraded to Plasma 6, I installed app-i18n/fcitx-chinese-addons-5.1.6 Pinyin works on libreoffice Konsole, kwrite and kdenlive etc most apps but not work on Chromium and Firefox and Thunderbird. Does anyone can shed some light on how to make pinyin on Chromium and Firefox and Thunderbird under app-i18n/fcitx-chinese-addons?

Yes, I have followed the https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fcitx#Using_Fcitx
$ cat ~/.xprofile
eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

/etc/portage/make.profile $ cat ~/.xinitrc|grep -v "^#"
eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

so far, I do not see introduction on app-i18n/fcitx-chinese-addons in gentoo "How To" documents.
Guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fcitx may only fit fcitx<=4 not fcitx-5.

XIM=fcitx

same as before still not work for www-client/firefox-bin-130.0.1 and www-client/chromium-129.0.6668.58 Thunderbird

are you using wayland (mine is x11) ? if so, check this https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/1094#issuecomment-2261519970

and for XIM such thing you could refer:

I installed app-i18n/fcitx-rime-5.1.8 after ignore keyword ~amd64.

But I don't know how to make it works. My system is kde plasma 6 on X (not wayland)

I tried to add keyboard "Chinese -mongolian(Manchu) but only can see some strange characters like ᢤᢛ.

Hi Donjuanplatinum,

Thank you very much! After install app-i18n/librime, it rime shows Chinese characters now. Wondering why https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fcitx#Using_Fcitx does not mention about this package.

Although rime works, same as app-i18n/fcitx-chinese-addons it is still only working for those KDE Plasma 6 native apps not for third parting like www-client/chromium-129.0.6668.58 and firefox and Thunderbird etc.

I am wondering if it is because Fcitx-5 can't efficiently communicate with Chromium?

Recall, after I upgrade to plasma 6, my fcitx is still on 4. I found I can't type Chinese in Konsole, libreoffice but worked fine with www-client/chromium and firefox Then I upgrade it to fcitx-5 by replacing fcitx-cloudpinyin and fcitx-libpinyin with app-i18n/fcitx-chinese-addons-5.1.6. After got onto fcitx-5, things reversed, Chinese input becomes not work on chromium and firefox but works on Konsole, libreoffice.
