Cannot fix keyboard layout switching.
Recently, I installed fcitx5 for something unrelated (Japanese input) and it magically fixed the issue. Whatever keyboard layout I have set will be universal across my machine. However, it created another issue where I can only switch my layout when I'm focused in a text box somewhere. Been trying to fix the problem for days now reading countless wikis and forums. Only other person I could find with the same issue was here, but I had already been using their solution since I started using fcitx5 (and obviously still have the issue).

Can't figure out keyboard layouts
I had already been using the method described as the solution here since I installed fcitx5. I'm really at a loss here. I have no clue how keyboard input works under the hood and I've been reading wikis and forums for days trying to figure out how this stuff works.

How do I use custom keyboard layouts from ~/.config/xkb
To allow use swaymsg to change the layout by fcitx is still a todo-task. https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/438

Pinyin (Chinese text) looks aliased on Wayland
Also, have you seen this github thread, https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/263
- fcitx5 doesn't work in qt applications

Fcitx5 has now a Wayland launcher
libexec/fcitx5-wayland-launcher was added recently. It's probably better to use this to start Fcitx from Sway's config or a user systemd service (wanted by sway-session.target).

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
1.5.29-rc2 was tagged on 9 Nov 2023 [1] and in did not contain "N_("CJK Unified Ideographs Extension I")," in src/ibusunicodegen.h [2].
Commit 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae from 28 Feb 2023 introduced this change instead. It's the same person who tagged 1.5.29-rc2 and committed 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae which is typically an indication the maintainer tar'd their checked out git folder and accidentally included changes not get committed.

gtk+-2.24.33_2 in transaction breaks installed pkg `ibus-1.5.28_2
On https://github.com/ibus/ibus we can see gtk+ are probably only need for ibus-setup. I would like help to be sure i not miss any step.

The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
I also know input methods work great in Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome supports ibus.
But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.
After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182
The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...
Most people use fcitx5 with Sway because fcitx5 and Sway both support input method unstable v2. But the article explains that v2 is still not universally supported among wayland DEs, and that’s why it’s problematic.

Fedora 38 Beta Released
The F38 beta is currently affected by two (mostly gaming-related) issues that you should be aware of: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2678 -> a lot of SDL-based games have their fullscreen mode broken. The issue is bisected. - https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480 -> Keyboard input sometimes gets stuck. Issue has already been identified and we're waiting for an ibus release.

Introducing the common input method
Also, to add to what u/Pizza-Driver said, it seems that ibus is not yet interoperable with the protocol used by Wayland display servers based on wlroots.

What does "Super+." do?
I meant ctrl+., but it looks like ibus recently changed their emoji input shortcut back to super+., so the gtk emoji picker should be available via ctrl+. again without requiring changes: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575

Disable Super+Period default behavior
Looks like it was changed here: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575
