fcitx-imlist

fcitx-imlist is a small program to show or change input method list.

There is already similar program exists - fcitx-remote command. It can support to switch input method by fcitx-remote -s INPUT_METHOD, but It doesn't support to change the order of input method list. That is why I wrote this experimental program.

Usage

How to show input methods?

Use -l option to list input methods which is enabled.

% fcitx-imlist -l
fcitx-keyboard-jp (キーボード - 日本語) [enabled]
mozc (Mozc) [enabled]

How to toggle input method set?

Use -t option to toggle input method set.

The input method set is pre-configured.

Here is the example configuration.

% gsettings get org.xdump.fcitximlist fcitx-imlist-default
'jp,mozc'
% gsettings get org.xdump.fcitximlist fcitx-imlist-alternative
'us,mozc'

In toggle mode, fcitx-imlist command switches above configuration.
