Detect current IM via fcitx5-remote?

[fosskers]

Hi there, thank you for this great project.

I see that we're able to detect the current IM group on the command line via:

> fcitx5-remote -q
Default

but is there a way to print a string of the current active IM?

Thanks, I just added the support in c1b3b8f

Meanwhile, you can query dbus for this information:
e.g.
qdbus org.fcitx.Fcitx5 /controller org.fcitx.Fcitx.Controller1.CurrentInputMethod
(dbus-send or busctl can also be used.)

Thank you very much!

I couldn't get it to work via dbus-send, but I built master and it's working great. Thank you!

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.fcitx.Fcitx5 /controller org.fcitx.Fcitx.Controller1.CurrentInputMethod

busctl --user call org.fcitx.Fcitx5 /controller org.fcitx.Fcitx.Controller1 CurrentInputMethod

Command line is somewhat different and they have different output format though. (That's why I prefer qdbus )
