Fcitx is the Free Chinese Input Toy of X, which was initially designed for Chinese users, and used XIM protocol. Now it has already evolved into a highly modularized, feature rich input method framework for Unix-like platforms supporting a considerable amount of frontends, backends and modules.

It offers a pleasant and modern experience, with intuitive graphical configuration tools and customizable skins and mapping tables. It is highly modularized and extensible, with GTK+ 2/3 and Qt 4/5 IM Modules, support for UIs based on Fbterm, pure Xlib, GTK+, or KDE, and a developer-friendly API.

This package provides the Qt5 IM Module frontend, which is necessary for Fcitx users who would like to use Qt5 applications.
