Non Gtk/Qt Wayland Application (Alacritty, kitty, etc)

It is possible that the application you use does not support input method at all, because they need to have relevant code to implement it. Even if they do, it is highly possible that compositor does not have the support for input method. Only GNOME Shell and KWin has full text-input-v3 support. As of 2022/05/07, sway still does not have full zwp_input_method_v2 support to support input surface. For KWin, you will need Plasma 5.24+ and Fcitx 5.0.14+ and make KWin to start Fcitx 5. You will need to go to Virtual Keyboard KCM and select Fcitx 5 in the KCM.
