How do I set up IBus with Kitty Terminal?

Hello, I'm using Void Linux and have installed IBus. I have been able to get it to work with GTK apps but am not able to get it to work with Kitty.

excerpt of my .bashrc

export GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
#export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

I know there's no issue with Kitty since I got it to work with fcitx5 on a previous installation. I prefer IBus so I tried to use it this time but to no avail. Am I missing something? Thanks.
