How to switch to Chinese characters? I set the hotkey to super+space but nothing happened. BTW, I am using i3 as my window manager and not using a desktop manager like gnome/kde. This is a regular ubuntu so ubuntu-desktop is installed and I am using it whenever I want to modify some settings that are not easy to do via a command line.

You need to install a Chinese input method. The "Chinese" keyboard layout you have in your list of input sources is just an alias to English (US).

So:

  • Install a package with a Chinese input method. ibus-pinyin and ibus-sunpinyin are examples of such packages.
  • Log out and log in again.
  • Add the input method to your list of input sources.

  • 谢谢你! I added Chinese - SunPinyin to the IBus Preferences and I can now type in 中文!
