 `omarchy setup input` installs the selected engine, restarts the supervised Fcitx unit so it discovers new addons, and appends the engine through `InputMethodGroupInfo`, `SetInputMethodGroupInfo`, and `Save`. It keeps the group name, layout, existing methods, and their layout overrides. There is no parallel unsupervised daemon. A per-user D-Bus activation file delegates `org.fcitx.Fcitx5` to `omarchy-fcitx5.service`; it is loaded before live restart.
 
-Shortcut defaults reserve Ctrl+Space for Tmux/Herdr, Super+Space for the menu, Super+Shift+Space for the bar, and Super+grave for the console. Input toggles on Ctrl+Shift+Space, Zenkaku/Hankaku, or Hangul; Henkan activates and Muhenkan deactivates. An existing configured list, including an empty list, is preserved. Stock generated lists are repaired only while the user still has the single-keyboard default profile. A terminal Ctrl+Space returns to direct input before the following key, with a 300 ms timeout and no D-Bus activation; a keyboard-only profile skips this step. Wayland and XCB addons do not override the compositor's XKB settings.
+Shortcut defaults reserve Ctrl+Space for Tmux/Herdr, Super+Space for the menu, Super+Shift+Space for the bar, and Super+grave for the console. Hyprland owns Super+I to toggle input independently of Fcitx switching keys. Fcitx handles Zenkaku/Hankaku and Hangul; Henkan activates and Muhenkan deactivates. An existing configured list, including an empty list, is preserved. Stock generated lists are repaired only while the user still has the single-keyboard default profile.

 The migration installs the standard engines and applies conservative defaults. It aligns an untouched Fcitx keyboard profile with the install layout, using the live controller when Fcitx is running. It leaves existing multilingual profiles and working trigger keys alone. Atomic file writes follow configuration symlinks, preserve file modes, and roll back on a failed seed or live setup so a retry can complete. Live rollback stops Fcitx before restoring disk, then reloads activation and restarts the unit. Migration bus errors defer profile alignment to the next login and do not restart input. If a pre-update daemon has not discovered a new engine, the migration aligns only its keyboard and prints the setup command.

 Select Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified, Pinyin), or Chinese (Traditional, Zhuyin) when the installer asks for your keyboard. Omarchy configures the keyboard and matching input engine automatically, including during offline first-boot setup. Japanese uses Mozc, Korean uses standard two-set Hangul, Simplified Chinese uses Pinyin, and Traditional Chinese uses Chewing's standard Zhuyin arrangement. Japanese (US keyboard) provides Mozc with a US keyboard layout.

On a Korean keyboard layout, dedicated 한/영 and 한자 keys switch Hangul and convert to Hanja. `Ctrl + Space` stays available for Tmux and Herdr; CapsLock stays the compose key.

 The keyboard indicator in the menu bar appears for non-English keyboards and whenever you have multiple layouts or input modes. Click it to switch input languages; Japanese displays あ for hiragana. With only one input mode, clicking opens input language setup. For Japanese character choices, switch to Japanese, type a word such as `nihongo`, then press Space twice. Press Enter to accept your choice. If you also have multiple keyboard layouts, right-click the indicator to cycle those.
 
 To add another language later, use _Setup > Input Language_ or run `omarchy setup input` (or `omarchy setup input mozc`, `hangul`, `pinyin`, or `chewing`). Your existing input methods and custom switching keys are preserved. For alternative engine layouts or keys, install `fcitx5-configtool` with `omarchy pkg add fcitx5-configtool` and launch it from a terminal. Selecting an input language does not change the desktop language.
 
-On keyboards without dedicated input keys, use `Ctrl + Shift + Space`. This input shortcut takes precedence over app shortcuts such as code completion; you can change it in `fcitx5-configtool`. Tapping Shift alone is not an input switch: Omarchy uses both Shift keys for CapsLock, which changes how input methods see Shift release. Input engines and the CapsLock compose sequences use the [Fcitx5](https://fcitx-im.org/) service already running in every session.
