Steam doesn't recognize ibus input

[DarthBrandon]

I'm trying to learn Japanese. As such, I have ibus set up with the Anthy engine to enable me to type Japanese characters. My main method of changing to the Anthy engine is to press Alt+, but when doing this on Steam, it just types the. If I enable Japanese input then click on Steam, it simply types the normal Latin characters instead of the Japanese.

I don't know anything about ibus or anthy so I don't know how they hook into X, but the steam client only uses X input managers for international character input. That looks at the system locale to see what language the input manager will initialize with. If you change the system locale to Japanese do you have better results?

[DarthBrandon]

I think I tried that, and there wasn't any difference.

As far as I can tell, ibus is compatible with XIM, but there do seem to be some limitations. Ibus doesn't work for Adobe Flash text input, nor does it work for Windows apps under Wine.

[gdrewb-valve]

OK, thank you for the info.

[felixonmars]

In fact, ibus works for Windows Applications under Wine, using wine-xim (in wine-x11.drv).

[Sakura-xx]

As a side note, this also applies to ibus in "everything on the whole screen" mode.

[heralden]

A temporary solution is to use pidgin-opensteamworks chat functionality.
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-opensteamworks/

[kokutoukiritsugu]

KNEEL PLEASE ! WE HOPE INPUX FIX IN OSX OR LINUX !

rime in fcitx in Linux or normal chinese input in OSX or Squirrel in OSX.

Please do not ignore this for less users.

[Spanguole]

kinda related: #2287

[HybridEidolon]

Confirming issue here as well. Seems like Steam just uses SDL2 input rather than ibus?

[albusshin]

Yes, I'm experiencing the inconvenience as well. Hoping that it being fixed soon.

[hrzhu]

As of 6/22/2014, the problem still exists.

[Tele42]

For what it's worth, IBus IME support just went into libSDL2, so we are currently waiting on the next libSDL2 point release before this issue is ready to be re-evaluated for a solution.

[mk0x9]

Same here, using fcitx, can't even switch to russian/japanese layout from english one.

[jamieleshaw]

Using iBus on Ubuntu 14.04. Still an issue.

[BeyondLimitation]

This issue still exist(2016-6-25)

[lekro]

Using ibus-kkc / libkkc 0.3.5 (Japanese ime with kana/kanji conversion) through iBus 1.5.14 on Arch Linux, kernel 4.7 with steam package version 1471380192 - still an issue. Switching input options using the hotkey defined in iBus works though. iBus's built-in English international with AltGr dead keys input works.

[yankee14]

Four years into this problem, does anyone know the status of this bug? ibus input is not working for me, either.

[HellishINC]

Oh look, another issue that Valve still hasn't fixed after 4+ years.

Let's place bets! I'll go with Q42019, by community workarounds.

[Spanguole]

Let's place bets! I'll go with Q42019, by community workarounds.

Already "worked around" a few years ago by not using the official client and using pidgin with opensteamworks plugin.

[HellishINC]

I meant in the scope of the actual client and not a third party program that is a frontend for the browser api. For that you might as well just use the browser instead of installing a dedicated program. There are also other "workarounds" that require patching SDL but those aren't really worthwhile either.

[xorgy]

hope Valve can solve it in fast, copy and paste is so silly

‘fast’ is a tall order, this issue is nearly a decade old; a time machine would be required to fix it fast.

[nm004]

AFAIK, Steam Desktop Client is based on CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework). The same issue is also pointed out by CEF community. Chromium Web Browser currently utilizes GTK to support IME in Linux DE, but CEF seems not.

Also note that, Chromium team is working on support the new Wayland input protcol. This could change the situation somehow if the code is merged into CEF.

[xorgy]

AFAIK, Steam Desktop Client is based on CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework).

It isn't, though it does have CEF sections.

[Neubulae]

Chat still doesn't work properly under 'Big Picture' mode.

[CoelacanthusHex]

Steam seems to use CEF fully and removed vgui2 in the recent Beta version.

[shuriken1812]

I use fcitx5 with mozc for japanese input.. it does work inside all games including native / proton. Dota 2, CS GO, GW2, AoE 2 DE, FFXIV.. the ones I have tested. Steam client itself does not support IME's or even switching to an IME. Luckily Dota 2 allows you to use steam chats as whispers ingame.. so I use that when I have to.

[wold9168]

July 17. The problem still affects.
I use ibus-rime. I ensure my environment variables is set properly as follows.

~/.xprofile:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

Update: 16th April 2024
Someone emailed me to remind me to upgrade my libx11. My libx11 is 1.8.9-1 now. And the problem is solved now.
Updating your libx11 may helps. :D

IIRC, it only works in Big Picture mode. Steam Client Desktop mode is still not able to use IME.

[htqx]

C, it only works in Big Picture mode. Steam Client Desktop mode is still not able to use IME.

you are right

[brianhsu]

I'm not sure what happened, but today suddenly I could type Chinese using fcitx5 in both Steam Linux desktop client / Big Picture mode. Everything works perfectly.

Maybe you guys should give it a try, and see if this issue have finally been fixed.

@CoelacanthusHex I updated yesterday my comment sorry for it, but still doesn't work. I installed steam from package manager and tried alongside with flatpak one. Indeed it isn't flatpak issue nor DE. Since I tried it today on more generic environment like GNOME.(bottom one is flatpak)

[Guanran928]

I'm not able to get Fcitx5 working...

NixOS unstable / SwayWM (Wayland) 1.8.1

❯ env | rg 'IM_MODULE|fcitx'
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/nix/store/r895shrw5h3xjiy39fsn566gwc644pkj-fcitx5-with-addons-5.1.6/lib/qt-6/plugins

[Neubulae]

I can confirm it works on Arch Linux with Steam 1705630720(Beta), KDE 6.0rc1, and Fcitx 5.1.7

Can confirm is working, on the 11th anniversary of this issue.

[test482]

Just find out steam Chinese IM support only working with LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8, not work with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 steam ...

This information may help someone else.

---

edit: i use GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx.

[Guanran928]

I got it working with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, under en_US.UTF-8.

[nm004]

I got it working with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, under en_US.UTF-8.

It worked on GNOME 45.5 with iBus.

LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 also made iBus working on Steam. But when I set certain LANG value e.g. LANG=am_ET.UTF-8 (Amharic) iBus maps keys to Amharic alphabets no matter what keyboard layout is used.

[AlexanderRevo]

Can confirm it works: setting LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 made all fcitx input method work in Steam client.
