use_ime#

Controls whether the Input Method Editor (IME) will be used to process keyboard input. The IME is useful for inputting kanji or other text that is not natively supported by the attached keyboard hardware.

IME support is a platform dependent feature

Platform	Notes
Windows	Always enabled and cannot be disabled
macOS	Enabled by default
X11	Uses XIM. Your system needs a running input method engine such as ibus or fcitx that supports XIM.
Wayland	Your compositor must support zwp_text_input_v3

You can control whether the IME is enabled in your configuration file:

config.use_ime = false

Changing use_ime usually requires re-launching wakterm to take full effect. It defaults to true. On X11, ensure that XMODIFIERS or xim_im_name is configured before launching Wakterm. For example, GNOME users will probably want XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus.
