Create an available plum blossom 6 hard keyboard

Beautiful keyboard: Build available plum blossom 6 hard keyboard five strokes

By oxen (old and old), afternoon

Yesterday I was informed that the plum blossom 6 hard keyboard version was released for everyone to test. Good news.

Baizhi network by-smart.comeh: k8ohu ;[ Well, the five strokes of plum blossom 6 are quite powerful.

I remember a few days ago, I felt in my post on pjh6688 and said, "When is the plum blossom keyboard coming out? I hope it will be knotted in the Autumn Water ." He replied, "when it comes, it is dusty, so it will make the keyboard flourish ." So elegant. Peter started to release the beta version. Maybe he saw the Autumn Water in our eyes. After all, the late autumn season has already followed the Yellow Crane.

Although I have repeatedly stressed that testing should be careful, I still don't know how many times it has been tested. It is also a pleasure to make fun of it. Let's just take the lead as a mouse.

First Change

The night before, the watermark man sent a message in the jar and encouraged me to try again.Development. I said, "Oh, development is the author's business, and other people's intervention is infringement. I believe the author will give everyone a satisfactory idea. Let me see ......" At noon yesterday, he followed his footprints and went to the cht9000 Special Edition plumsip6 pro cht9000.cab to try it.

I tried it in a simple way. After all, it is a test version and there are many problems. The description is as follows:Baizhi network by-smart.com \ uv8' (Q % K % J $ t

Plum Blossom 6's new hard-keyboard beta version is not just a disadvantage or no advantage. Preliminary experience, the beauty of the keyboard, jump to the key.

I installed it at the beginning, with a few clicks and five strokes. I'm glad to hear that.

The comprehensive setting function can basically meet the requirements. However, why are there no five pinyin settings?

Haha, the most profound experience in this test is that you can screen the screen with four keys. I remember my discussion and strong suggestions on four-key screen loading when I tested the touch screen a few months ago (see the previous blog post: plum blossom five sunny Thunder: Test catch insects). peter confirmed it. Happy. Look at my keyboard love:

Distance from SAMU

How far is the plum blossom 6 keyboard edition perfect? How far is plum blossom from perfection? This question is really hard to answer. This is exactly what Peter's team is working on, right? I remember that when I tried plum blossom 6 touch screen two months ago, the result of my communication with my team was that I wanted to use the copyrighted pinyin.Input MethodThey are difficult to deal with copyrighted five-stroke input methods. Understandable. To build a perfect keyboard input method is the direction of the Team's efforts. To build a perfect keyboard five-stroke input method, we also need the efforts of five enthusiasts.

To create a perfect keyboard five-stroke input method, we need to first understand that the current plum blossom 6 is still diverse from the United States. In summary, the distance between Midea is mainly reflected in:

1. Core: blind distance .......

2. Settings: select freely. In the 21st century, right of choice has become the top demand. The product will win if the consumer's choice is met. A perfect five-stroke input method should certainly provide the user's freedom to choose. Based on the current five-stroke input method of PC desktop, we can find that, whether it is the most primitive five-stroke standard, or the popular five-stroke method, there are more detailed settings interface, allows users to choose whether to enable word/word association, and whether to allow error-tolerant codes. In the five input methods of smart devices, such as Ce-star and Haiying, there are also basic options. In the current plum blossom 6 keyboard version, in terms of input method settings, the current version only supports pinyin settings and comprehensive settings, without five settings. If the author is stuck in copyright issues, it cannot be resolved if it is named "Custom Input Method Settings. I personally think that the top five settings on the desktop PC can be as follows (see ), at least basic settings such as "whether to enable Lenovo" and "Space width" (two spaces are required at the beginning of each Chinese field) should also be provided.

3. Interface: distance between efficiency. An article I wrote at the beginning of the yearArticle(See old ox product "fish" 3: Be sure to touch the keyboard "). We have already pointed out the differences in interface design between plum blossom and Ce-star input methods. Interface beautification is one aspect, convenience is one aspect, and efficiency is even more important. Plum Blossom has made great effort in beautifying and facilitating finger operations. The old ox will like it here. However, plum blossom still has room for improvement in efficiency, especially in keyboard efficiency. In the article at the beginning of the year, the old ox analyzed the problem that the interface of plum blossom 5 was too big. Now it still exists on Plum Blossom 6, which is a pity for the old ox. Here, the old ox only analyzes two efficiency issues for Peter's team's reference:

(1) The candidate sip interface is too large, which affects the use of the main interface. If the height is halved, you can. The screen is not big, and Peter is very eager to make the SIP candidate interface smaller. Because the keyboard user does not need fingers to click on the screen to select the words on the screen, the fingers move from the keyboard to the screen to point, too far, is not efficient principle, but also contrary to the use of the keyboard.

Xlmz 'n6k g0a6665It is ideal to halved the height of the candidate sip interface.

DnieBrother has an objection to this: "I have always been worried about the plum blossom font selection interface. In fact, I personally think these troubles do not exist. Because the word selection interface only appears in the word selection, and the word selection basically does not look at other places on the screen, and there is no other operation, so there is no impact on the main interface ..."

However, I have always had a bad idea about CE-star's simple interface.
(F "_ e3k # ^ @ n & i6665What is beauty? The beauty is concise. What is not concise is troublesome.Baizhi network by-smart.comZ {, A (y_0w \
What is efficiency? Efficiency is distinct. It is the enemy of efficiency.
@: M7i, h # QB} 6665.(2) There are too many candidate word spaces and the efficiency is not high. Candidate words are arranged horizontally, which is characteristic of plum blossom. They are compared with vertical arrangement such as Ce-star and Haiying. Both horizontal and vertical have advantages and disadvantages. For the touch screen edition, horizontal arrangement makes it easier for you to select words by clicking on your fingers. However, there is no finger-clicking problem for the keyboard input method. However, the candidate sips in horizontal arrangement, the horizontal screen corresponding to the opponent's side key disk and the direct keyboard, is also very appropriate. The problem now is that for the five-stroke input method, because duplicate words are far less than the Pinyin input method, and the five masters do not like the word association function, there are several blank spaces in the horizontal arrangement.

4. Tip: Learning distance. When the five users are used to typing, there are five encoding prompts, so that they can be used for reference when no words are displayed. However, plum blossom was initially designed for pinyin and was not designed in the Candidate window. I hope to add this content.

Simidea suggestions

We recommend that you use the following methods:

First, the candidate page size is optimized. There are two ways to reduce the candidate window:ProgramAuthor inCodeThe hierarchy is fixed; it is defined by the user in the keyboard definition file. I suggest a better and more flexible approach. Peter saw my suggestion this morning (New Year's Day) and replied, "The size and font of the candidate box can be modified. Modify/skin/key. ini ." Oh, yes. I studied every. ini file yesterday and found it changeable. However, it is quite complex, without comments, and it is not successful to modify several parameters. We hope to provide parameter comments to help you modify your own definitions.

The second is the free stretching of the candidate pane. Five users do not like duplicate codes. In fact, there are not many duplicate codes in the five input methods. The duplicate codes are different from those in the Pinyin input method. For the five users, when there is no duplicate code, the blank candidate window that occupies the screen space is really a weakness and affects the use of the main window. Therefore, it is recommended that the candidate window interface automatically expand with duplicate words. When there is no duplicate code, the blank word pane will not be displayed, and several duplicate words will be displayed in several small panes.

The third is the classification of candidate spaces. I suggest: The left word and the right phrase. This does not seem to need to be explained much. Although there are not many duplicate codes, there are occasional duplicate codes. The layout design of such classification and arrangement will greatly improve the efficiency of users after forming habits, and eventually achieve the conversion of duplicate codes to non-duplicate codes, turn troubles into a simple ideal. Moreover, the classification layout design of the left-word and right-word phrases can be completely generalized, and can be used in input methods such as pinyin, double spelling, and strokes. In this way, the input method of plum blossom 6 keyboard and touch screen is more efficient.

After achieving the above three (of course, more than three), the plum blossom input method will go from the form of efficiency pursuit to the essence of efficiency realm. Good luck, either for the official website or for users.

Five beautiful expectations

On the morning of New Year's Day, I thought about the five coding tips for a long time and asked Peter to ask questions: "When five users are used to typing, there are five coding tips for reference. But plum blossom was designed for pinyin at the beginning, and this content was not designed in the Candidate window. I hope to add this content ." Peter quickly replied: "Because the node Information Input Method supports word selection by shortcut keys, you can directly select the candidate word displayed in the encoding prompt. You do not need to enter the encoding, in addition, it is not suitable for displaying such content in the method of candidate words of dianxun." This is a bit confusing to me.

Well, indeed, it seems that Peter is the king of pinyin. However, the five-stroke input method has different thinking habits than pinyin. If the Pinyin input method is used to migrate to the five-stroke input method and change the user's habits, it is a way to give up the user's thinking. I may have been talking too much, but many commercial cases in history and reality have explained the truth: it is impossible to challenge the user's habits to succeed.

I don't want to talk about it anymore. As a five-stroke user for many years, I still hope that Peter will give up his mind on pinyin for the Five-stroke input method, or integrate it into the five-stroke input method based on the successful experience of Pinyin input method. Specifically, it is to add the inherent elements of the Five-stroke input method on the basis of maintaining the unique five-case candidate window interface with the click function. Including five input settings and five encoding prompts. Currently, these two functions are not difficult to implement, you only need to add the attachment code module (maybe you just need to add two classes of code ). Or are we going to do this with five of our enthusiasts? It's still faster for you, dude.

I spent so many words to "persuade" the old man to add more firewood. The reason why this New Year's Day holiday was all invested in the test and modification work of plum blossom 6. To put it bluntly, I am sorry for your old man, I have a lot of expectations for your baby plum blossom input method. You and your products pin on the deep expectations of our five enthusiasts.Baizhi network by-smart.com, [-E8rV-m) E

After six beautiful words

Peter's Plum Blossom 6 keyboard beta version provides a solid foundation. But since there is still a distance from perfection, and Peter does not want to spend too much effort on five aspects, let's create five enthusiasts.

creating an available five-stroke input method for plum blossom 6 keyboard is a system project. System planning is required. I plan to start from these aspects: first, the candidate window interface is improved to change the question of overwhelming input methods; second, the candidate word shortcut key design to adapt to the keyboard layout characteristics of my model; the third is the keyboard symbol correction to adapt to the layout of the symbol on the keyboard of your model; the fourth is the editing of five code tables and the production of word libraries to adapt to different user needs. If possible, I may make some effort in setting the five-stroke input method. It depends on my time and energy.
