U can input CJK fonts at outside anywhere, and COPY & PASTE into docker-firefox

need a web clipboard， like jishiben.me ( not AD )

[lifetraveler]

thank u.
something like this docker-firefox in qnap nas os,called browser station，the way to handle this is just popup a floating box ，you can use your own ime to put chinese into it(pic 1)，when its done,it passthough the text to the browser (pic 2)。

[nibazshab]

oh, it also can, just need do this

1. COPY fonts
2. PASTE into left panel
3. PASTE at docker-firefox

[lifetraveler]

:）
but thank u

Do you know if there is a Firefox plugin that offer this functionality ?

[jlesage]

Also, the BrowserStation in QNAP seems to be a Chrome browser. Do you have anything to do to activate the popup floating window ? Is this implemented via a plugin ?

[lifetraveler]

yeah,its chrome brower, :)

--do you have anything to do to active the popup floating window ? Is this implemented via a plugin ?
just switch my IME（Input Method Editors） into chinese mode,when you put key down ,its automatic active.
i google a lot about that, some one says its maybe hard to image that for english user,there is a weblink to learn more about it.

here is a gif to get it

[lifetraveler]

now i use the clipboard in sidebar. ：）,i may Take some time to get used to it。

qnap browser station is seemed to be a little slowlier when work with chinese input and not support proxy in browser。
your docker-firefox image support proxy，its much important than a chinese ime for me .
thank u

Who is providing this IME (the floating window) ? Is it your OS or the BrowserStation ?

[lifetraveler]

they are two parts,the floating window is provided by BrowserStation.IME is on the OS

Someone has packged ibus for alpine(download link). I have installed and started it. But it doesn't take effect in firefox. Maybe it is caued by some config. I installed fcitx in arch, and ime didn't take effect too. The problem was resolved by export environment config in startup script of my application. But it didn't resolve my problem in apline.
英语太过跛脚，我补充下中文：在百度贴吧我看过一个帖主打包了apline的ibus输入法。我安装了，也启动了。但是在firefox中不生效。不知道是不是环境变量的问题。之前我在arch的docker容器中装过fcitx，应用中输入法也是不生效，通过在应用的启动脚本中增加变量解决的。但我在alpine中没有解决，有兴趣你也可以试试。

kasm also provides this function. But it takes much more space.

Using userscript in Firefox can auto read Clipboard on change, and input it into page. it is useful to me.
@tsurara-guobin @lifetraveler

1. Enter about:config in navigation bar
2. Search dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard dom.events.asyncClipboard.readText and set true
3. install a userscript addon such as https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/violentmonkey/
4. add a userscript:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        auto Clipboard
// @match        https://*/*
// @match        http://*/*
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      h2y
// @description 27/03/2023, 17:31:59
// ==/UserScript==

(_ => {
    let lastTxt = ""
    setInterval(_ => {
        let inp = document.querySelector("input:focus, textarea:focus");
        if (!inp) return;
        navigator.clipboard.readText().then(txt => {
            if (txt != lastTxt) {
                lastTxt = txt;
                if (inp.value != txt) inp.value = txt;
            }
        });
    }, 2000)
})()

Using fcitx in this image is fairly simple.

1. Start your docker-firefox container as usual
2. Run docker exec -it #your_started_container_name# sh
3. Run apk add fcitx5 fcitx5-chinese-addons --repository=https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing to install fcitx input method
4. Commit your changes to the image
5. Modify startapp.sh, start fcitx along with firefox
6. Start your container with the following env variables set
   • LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
   • XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
   • GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
   • QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx`
7. Use Ctrl + Space to switch between English and Chinese
