Doesn't seem to work when there are more than 2 input methods (e.g. German)

It works if I input Chinese in Emacs using Sogou Input. However, if I input German (using the built-in German keyboard layout) in Emacs, it doesn't work.

When I press Esc, the input method is indeed switched back to US English. However, When I press i again, the input method is not switched back to German, but seemingly to Sogou. However, it doesn't actually enter Chinese, but rather directly enters English characters.

Under Linux fcitx, the mechanism always works in Emacs, no matter what language I'm inputting using fcitx.

A quick look at the source code seems to suggest that the program is hard-coded to switch back to the Chinese input:

void active(){
    switch_to(CHINESE_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT);
}

Would it be possible to let it switch to the last active keyboard layout? Or maybe to let it just simulate the pressing of a key combination, e.g. Ctrl + Space, whenever Esc is pressed within Emacs.

fcitx-remote is stateless. It does not know the original state.

I see. But as I mentioned, would it be possible to just let fcitx-remote simulate a shortcut such as Ctrl-SPC, which would always switch to the previously selected input method?

You can use GENERAL method described in README.
