Bug#1008481: Add SDL_IM_MODULE to fcitx4 and fcitx5

["wangtianzhu" <wangtianzhu@uniontech.com>]

INPUT_METHOD have also been added in the patch.

INPUT_METHOD can be used to distinguish fcitx4 and fcitx5.

 

An environment variable INPUT_METHOD is required to tell which input method framework is currently used by other third-party input method.

You did good home work.  Impressed.

I am a bit confused what to do with closed patches.

https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/im-config/-/merge_requests/14

Does the INPUT_METHOD thing valid proposal ?  I don't understand rationale for adding

yet-another-variable.

Can you provide best solution as PR or patch?

Thanks,

Osamu
