Hi,

Thank you for reporting the issue. I understand that you're unable to change the keyboard layout from us to jp in ~/.config/fcitx5/profile – the file keeps reverting or permissions/seem to enforce the default US layout.

Our engineer has provided the following solution. Please try it step by step:

1. Stop Fcitx5 first

Open a terminal and run:

killall fcitx5-help
killall fcitx5

2. Edit the profile file

Open the configuration file with a text editor (e.g., nano):

nano ~/.config/fcitx5/profile

Find the section [Groups/0] (or the group that contains Mozc). Change Layout=us to Layout=jp.

Example:

[Groups/0]
Name=Default
DefaultIM=mozc

[Groups/0/Items/0]
Name=keyboard-jp
Layout=jp   <-- change this to jp

Save the file and exit.

3. Restart Fcitx5

Start it again:

fcitx5 -d &

After this, the Japanese layout should be active for Mozc.


Alternative suggestion (GUI method):
You can also add the Japanese keyboard layout via the system settings:

Go to Control Center → Bluetooth & Devices → Keyboard → Input Method (or Keyboard Layout), then add Japanese (jp) layout. This might be easier and also avoids permission issues.
