I want to see the actual characters, hiragana, katakana… instead of squares and actually write traditional Chinese and Korean.

And easily change the input language / method

    Not familiar with Chinese writing for typing, but through Fcitx, I could configure both Japanese and Korean phonetic keyboards, and that helps a bunch.

    If you go this path, going from memory as it's been a while since I set them
    • Had to install the keyboards Mozc and Hangul in the “Input Method” tab
    • At the “Addon” tab, select the Hangul option, click on Configure at the bottom, and set the keyboard layout as Romaja (and don’t remember if I had to tick them, but Auto Reorder and Hanja mode in the same screen are ticked, but not Word Commit)
    • For Mozc, (iirc) go to the Fcitx tray icon > Mozc Tool > Configuration Tool and in the window that opens, have Input Mode as Romaji
    • To be able to change inputs with the keyboard, (iirc) at the Global Config tab with the “Show Advanced Options” active, had to tick “Enable Hotkey to scroll Between Input Method” and the option right below to select a key combo at “Scroll between Input Method” (Ctrl Super was the least awkward of the options)
