Rime
Rime is a across-platform engine which supports various Chinese input methods. It is best in
- Free Software

Installation of rime (MacOS)

Configuration
The configuration files (in MacOS) is under ~/Library/Rime.
Application configuration: squirrel.yaml and squirrel.custom.yaml (theme etc)
Input Method scheme configuration: default.yaml and default.custom.yaml (global); rime_mint.schema.yaml (local).
Useful features for me
- Shortcut of typing greek letters (e.g., “/alpha” -> “α”, “/a” -> “ā”)
- Emacs user friendly (e.g., next page is “C-n”; can be used in emacs)
- App specific options (e.g., Open terminal and it will automatically be English mode)
