Use fcitx in hipchat on ubuntu

In my company, we use Hipchat to communicate while we work. But on my machine (Ubuntu 16.04.1) I can not type my native language (Vietnamese). That is because I switch from ibus to fcitx (there are lot of bug in ibus these days), and unfortunately, Hipchat only support ibus.

I used to use Hipchat web as an alternative. But recently I find out I can make Hipchat work with fcitx, with a simple command:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so /opt/HipChat4/lib/plugins/platforminputcontexts

Hope this help some one.
