A script to show Fcitx5 status in polybar.

polybar-fcitx5-script.sh

A script to show Fcitx5 status. Fork from polybar-fcitx-scripts on ArchLinux AUR and I can't find it now. I adapt it to fcitx5.

Setup

Copy polybar-fcitx5-script.sh to your ~/.config/polybar folder and add this to your config file:

[module/fcitx]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/.config/polybar/polybar-fcitx5-script.sh
tail = true
interval = 0
format-prefix = "KBD"

You can replace format-prefix with the symbol you like.

If you want to change the up arrow that indicates uppercase into another symbol, modify CAPS_SYMBOL in the script.

polybar-fcitx5-script's Issues

seems that i can't get imlist and capslock

1.polybar label always show EN
2. when i change to pinyin the label become empty

fcitx5 version: 5.0.19
polybar version: 3.6.3
OS: archcraft 5.19.13-arch1-1

I don't find where IMLIST_FILE in the tmp folder; So i suppose it's because the IMLIST_FILE and the script can't get my caplock state;

thanks for you job ,have a good day!

Cannot execute script.

Hey,

Thank you for making this bash script. I am having issues executing the script through polybar giving me the following result.

[module/fcitx]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/Documents/dotFiles/.config/polybar/fcitx5.sh
tail = true
interval = 0
format-prefix = "KBD"

Current polybar folder structure

dotFiles/.config/polybar on  main [$!] took 18s
❯ pwd
/home/henri/Documents/dotFiles/.config/polybar

dotFiles/.config/polybar on  main [$!]
❯ ls
.rw-r--r-- 5.1k henri 18 Jul 19:44 config.ini
.rwxrwxrwx 2.1k henri 17 Jul 19:46 fcitx5.sh
.rw-------  305 henri 15 Jul 22:15 launch.sh
.rw-r--r--  774 henri 17 Jul 19:33 mocha.ini

Any help is appreciated. I feel the fix is simple but it evades me.
Thank you
