QT_IM_MODULE

For QT_IM_MODULE, as for now QT can only use its own text-input-v{2,4}, which is only supported by KWin. Which means, under KDE you should unset it, but under other desktop, you will need to set it to QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx. Also the proprietary Qt applications in the wild complicates the situation. Some do not work on Wayland, some do not bundle/provide Qt wayland. Most of them do not bundle fcitx im module because fcitx is only a third party application to Qt, but I also noticed some do bundle but not bundle all the required libraries. While fcitx 5 support ibus protocol, some of those applications do not even bundle ibus im module. There are a few different environment variables you can try for those proprietary Qt applications (WPS, Anki, DaVinci Resolve, Mathematica, etc...).
