<p>I asked this first on the CentOS mailing list but have not
received any replies, possibly very, very few CentOS users (on the
mailing list) are using fcitx. Hoping I can get help on the Ubuntu
mailing list since I understand Ubuntu also uses fcitx.<br>
</p>
<p>This is an old issue for me running CentOS 7, latest update. I am
using fcitx to switch between keyboards, two western ones and
Chinese pinyin keyboard. Ever since I installed CentOS 7 over two
years ago, I have been unable to resolve issues where I can
maintain keyboard setting within one application, notably
chromium, and/or between applications. fcitx has a setting for
allowing the keyboard choice to remain across applications but it
does not work - so far.<br>
</p>
<p>Further, in chromium, even when within an IME, every time I hit
ENTER, the keyboard resets back to the default (EN_US). Needless
to say, this makes for some very tedious typing using an
alternative keyboard.<br>
</p>
<p>I do not have this problem remaining within a single IME in
Thunderbird, nor in Firefox, nor in LibreOffice. I can switch back
and forth between one of these apps and the keyboard switches back
to what I last used in that app when switching back to the app - <i
class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>provided
I have used Chinese<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>. It
does not work when I use different western keyboards in the
various apps.<br>
</p>
<p>Is anyone using fcitx switching between different keyboards and
can confirm the above - or refute it?<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you.<br>
