 `omarchy setup input <engine>` 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.

+`Setup > Typing > Keyboard Layouts` and `Input Methods` use the native menu's multi-select mode, with current entries checked and changes applied immediately. `default/input-methods/typing.py` uses the installer’s keyboard choices, converted to desktop layouts through systemd’s keymap table, and reads the current input group.

The standard composition engines are already shipped in the base package set. Closing a picker keeps changes already applied. Failed updates leave its checked state unchanged.
 
 Keyboard selections are persisted as data in `~/.config/omarchy/keyboard-layouts`; `default.hypr.keyboard.selected()` reads them before falling back to installation defaults. Personal Hyprland overrides still take precedence. A save reloads and validates the compositor, aligns the Fcitx group's primary keyboard with the leading layout/variant, and restores the previous configuration and group on failure. Non-Latin selections keep the installer's Latin-leading rule for desktop shortcuts. System console, disk-unlock, and greeter layouts are unchanged.
