Solved question bout awesome GUI configuration in freebsd14.2 ?

Dear all:
now i have install awesome GUI desktop for my freebsd14.2 . can you show me your rc.lua file to me , i want to change me default desktop . i don't waste time to configure all , just modify your rc.lua for myself . thanks.

my location can't open https://awesomewm.org/ .......bad news.
 
mkdir -p ~/.config/awesome
cp /usr/local/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome

Now you can modify ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. Mine's mostly default, only added a couple of things to start a screensaver for example.

You'll also want to install x11-wm/awesome-vicious it adds some additional functions and features.

Dear sirdice :
now i have transfer my destop GUI from gnome to awesome . problem with input mothed. . i have add ibus-daemon to run with chinese-pinyin-mothed. but only input chinese word in terminal ....can't input chinese in any other program, libreoffice,, chromium ..etc... how to solve it ? thanks.
 
I've found ibus problematic in both FreeBSD and Linux when not using Gnome. I usually switch to fcitx5-mozc or fcitx5-anthy. I have found that sometimes putting export_GTK_IM_MODULE=xim rather than fcitx or ibus, in your case, may help. (Note that my experience is with Japanese, not Chinese, and with dwm, dwl, labc, and openbox, not awesome).
Might as well spam my page about Japanese in Linux and Free or Open BSD, it has been useful to some people who use Chinese, rather than Japanese.

Dear scottro :
thanks for your help . now i have add "exec dbus-launch awesome" in my .xinitrc file. the ibus can input chinese in anywhere except libreoffice. i don't know why.....:(....yeah, i have use fcitx5 try. it's failed too. can't input chinese in libreoffice....thanks. for your help . have a good day.
 
solved : add below content in your .shrc file .
#custom define chinese input mothed
export XIM=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export XIM_PROGRAM="ibus-daemon"
export XIM_ARGS="--daemonize --xim"
