# fcitx5-m3ui
|
|
|
|
A Material 3 styled candidate window for [Fcitx5](https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5),
|
|
built as a user interface addon (`m3ui`) that replaces `classicui`.
|
|
|
|
[简体中文](README.zh-CN.md)
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Rounded Material 3 panel with light and dark themes that follow the system.
|
|
- Spring based animations: the panel slides in with a small bounce and fades in,
|
|
the highlight pill glides between candidates. Stiffness and damping are
|
|
configurable.
|
|
- Right click a candidate to open an action menu. It shows whatever actions the
|
|
input method offers, for Pinyin that is *Forget candidate*, *Pin to top as
|
|
custom phrase* and *Delete from custom phrase*.
|
|
- Works on Wayland and X11 (Xwayland) input contexts, positioning and pointer
|
|
handling are inherited from `classicui`.
|
|
- Optional KWin helper that shortens KWin's own fade out for the candidate
|
|
window only.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Personal project, only tried on Fedora 44, KDE Plasma 6.7 on Wayland, NVIDIA
|
|
GPU, Fcitx5 5.1.23 with the Pinyin engine. The build scripts have not been run
|
|
on any other setup.
|
|
|
|
The addon is a fork of `classicui` and is built inside the Fcitx5 source tree,
|
|
because Fcitx5's Wayland protocol wrappers are not installed by `fcitx5-devel`.
|
|
The Fcitx5 source version used for the build must match the installed Fcitx5.
|
|
|
|
There is no fade out animation of its own: on Wayland the window is destroyed as
|
|
soon as the panel has nothing to show.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Needs the Fcitx5 development files and the dependencies of `classicui`
|
|
(cairo, pango, librsvg, gdk-pixbuf, wayland-protocols, xcb libraries). On Fedora:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dnf install fcitx5-devel extra-cmake-modules cairo-devel pango-devel \
|
|
gdk-pixbuf2-devel librsvg2-devel wayland-protocols-devel \
|
|
plasma-wayland-protocols-devel systemd-devel libuuid-devel fmt-devel \
|
|
expat-devel iso-codes-devel json-devel xkeyboard-config-devel \
|
|
xcb-util-devel xcb-util-keysyms-devel xcb-util-wm-devel \
|
|
xcb-util-image-devel xcb-imdkit-devel libxkbfile-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scripts/build.sh # downloads Fcitx5 + yoga, overlays src/, builds m3ui
|
|
scripts/install.sh # installs into ~/.local, nothing outside $HOME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`build.sh` picks the Fcitx5 version from `pkg-config`, override it with
|
|
`FCITX_VERSION`.
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
FCITX_ADDON_DIRS=$HOME/.local/m3ui/lib64/fcitx5:/usr/lib64/fcitx5 fcitx5 -r -u m3ui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`FCITX_ADDON_DIRS` is how Fcitx5 finds addons outside the system directory, it
|
|
has to be set in the environment that starts Fcitx5 if you want this on every
|
|
login. `fcitx5 -r` brings the stock interface back.
|
|
|
|
Settings live in `~/.config/fcitx5/conf/m3ui.conf`, see
|
|
[config/m3ui.conf.example](config/m3ui.conf.example).
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `Animations` | True | Master switch for animations |
|
|
| `Bounce` | True | Off makes movement critically damped (no overshoot) |
|
|
| `SpatialStiffness` | 2000 | Spring stiffness for movement, higher is faster |
|
|
| `SpatialDamping` | 62 | Damping ratio in percent, lower bounces more |
|
|
| `EffectsStiffness` | 3800 | Spring stiffness for fading |
|
|
| `SlideDistance` | 22 | Slide in distance in px |
|
|
| `SlideDirection` | 0 | 0 from left, 1 from right, 2 from below |
|
|
| `Theme` / `DarkTheme` | `m3ui-light` / `m3ui-dark` | Themes in `themes/` |
|
|
|
|
Themes are classicui themes with extra keys in `[InputPanel]`: `SurfaceColor`,
|
|
`OutlineColor`, `HighlightFillColor`, `PanelRadius`, `ItemRadius`. A transparent
|
|
`SurfaceColor` falls back to the classic image based drawing, so classic themes
|
|
still work (without animation).
|
|
|
|
## KWin fade out (optional, KDE Plasma)
|
|
|
|
KWin's *Fading Popups* effect fades popups out over 600 ms and the candidate
|
|
window counts as a popup. `kwin/install-fadingpopups-override.sh` copies the
|
|
effect from your system into `~/.local/share/kwin-wayland/effects/` and patches
|
|
the copy so only the window class `fcitx fcitx` is affected. The script fails
|
|
if the upstream effect source no longer matches what it patches.
