Problem

With fcitx5 (or ibus) running, Chinese/Japanese/Korean can't be typed into the launcher: pinyin keystrokes land in the query as plain Latin letters and no candidate window appears.

The search field is a Text, and keys are caught by a plain Item (keyCatcher) whose Keys.onPressed appends event.text to the query. Qt only enables the platform input context for a focused item that accepts input methods (TextInput/TextEdit), so the IME is never engaged — even with QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx set and the fcitx5 Qt6 plugin installed.

Change

keyCatcher becomes an invisible TextInput (in plugin/ui/LauncherWindow.qml):

• Raw key events still go through handleKey first (Keys.priority: Keys.BeforeItem), so typing Latin text, navigation and every shortcut behave exactly as before.
• Text committed by the IME lands in the TextInput and is immediately moved into the query (or the action panel filter when Ctrl+K is open), then the input is cleared.
• The IME preedit (preeditText) is shown in the search field, and the caret follows it.
• The TextInput sits on the caret, so the IME's candidate window opens right under the query.
• Qt.inputMethod.reset() on hide, so an unfinished composition doesn't carry over to the next open.

The Keyboard line of the Status section in CLAUDE.md notes the input method support.

Testing

• node --test tests/*.test.js: 88/88 pass.
• Live on Omarchy (Hyprland, fcitx5 + Rime): oma-cast show, switch fcitx5 to pinyin, type nihao → preedit ni hao shows in the search field with the candidate window below it; space commits 你好 into the query and the Google/DuckDuckGo/agent fallbacks for 你好 appear.
• With the IME off, typing goes through the unchanged handleKey path.

Rebased onto the latest main to resolve the conflicts with #28.

• Committed IME text now goes through a new insertText helper that pasteClipboard also uses, so it lands in the action panel filter, the focused argument pill, or the query, the same as a paste. Typing CJK into the Search Google / DuckDuckGo argument pill works too.
• The preedit only shows in the search field, not while an argument pill or the action panel has focus.
• tests/launcher-paste.test.js wires up insertText in its harness; all 104 tests pass.

Tested on Omarchy 4.0.6 with fcitx5 + Rime.
