FIX:
Delete all about fcitx and reinstall again.

Thanks everybody!

Today I update fcitx, when I use it default input method is not En(glish?).

Maybe the problem is: Cannot type English after updating to fcitx newer than 4.2.4?

Make sure you have add "Keyboard" to the input method list. You can use Configuration tool.
And you may want to move "Keyboard" to the first one.

Re: How config fcitx default input method?

I want to modify ./config/fcitx/profile [Profile]

# Use Full Width Character
# Available Value:
# True False
FullWidth=False
# Use Wide Punctuation
# Available Value:
# True False
WidePunc=False
# Prompt the phrases after input
# Available Value:
# True False
UseRemind=False
# Current Input Method Name
IMName=fcitx-keyboard-us
# Current Enabled Input Method List
EnabledIMList=pinyin:True,shuangpin:True,wubi:True,wbpy:True,anthy:True,fcitx-keyboard-us:True,bingchan:False,........................

 EnabledIMList=pinyin:True,shuangpin:True,wubi:True,wbpy:True,anthy:True,fcitx-keyboard-us:True,bingchan:False..........

modify to this

 EnabledIMList=fcitx-keyboard-us:True,pinyin:True,shuangpin:True,wubi:True,wbpy:True,anthy:True,bingchan:False..........

But the file is created everytime.
I can't modify it.

Are you saying that when you modify ~/.config/fcitx/profile manually your changes are overwritten when you restart fcitx? If so, you might have to use the GUI configuration tool to make your changes permanent.

Thanks your reply.
Yes.What GUI can do that?
I found nothing.
make search key=fcitx | grep 'ports'

The only worthwhile sites I can find for fcitx are:

• https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Fcitx
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fcitx#Configuration.

The problem is that I can't find any of the GUI tools they reference in the FreeBSD ports collection. Maybe you can see something I'm missing?

Thanks .I try to make deinstall reinstall again. if still have problem , I can backtrack fcitx version.

I know this is close to two years old, but came across it while googling. For what it's worth, my page now covers FreeBSD and fcitx at http://srobb.net/jpninpt.html. While the OP has probably already solved their issue or given up, the GUI tool they reference (which isn't really necessary, and doesn't seem to work as reliably in FreeBSD) is a separate port chinese/fcitx-configtool. It's confusing because the fcitx-whatever port install also installs an fcitx-configtool which does something else.
