Linux Chinese Input sanjianke

As we all know, chinput is widely used in Chinese linux in mainland China. Since chinput is mainly integrated on tubrolinux and moved to redhat, it needs to be modified a lot and pth is required, unicon-im support. it doesn't matter for linux, but it brings a lot of troubles to many new users who are new to linux, and there are still many imperfections in chinput. Some heroes have developed minichinput and magicchinput on chinput, I tested it and wrote it for your reference.

I. chinput
First of all, of course, the chinput of Yu Ming, his home page is http://www.opencjk.org /~ Yumj/
I will not talk much about the contributions of Jack Yu to linux culture. chinput is now mostly used in chinput 3.0.1.
I recommend that you download the rpm package and install pth and unicon-im at the same time, this article is everywhere online and unfamiliar with accessible http://www.linuxaid.com.cn.
The directories related to chinput 3.0.1 are/usr/lib/ZWinPro/and/usr/lib/unicon2 (some are/usr/lib/unicon)
Chinput supports four XIM input styles and shares the input method with Unicon. It supports more than 20 common input methods. Chinput is used by many Linux enthusiasts and Chinese Linux releases.
However, chinput smart pinyin has sorting problems, which is inconvenient for users.
The latest version of chinput 3.0.2 has been released. The home page of Yu mingxiao has source code rpm download.
In order to adapt to the new locale name of the Chinput-3.0.2 version, the glibc-2.2x added the adaptive function and modified the state bar information of the OnTheSpot style.
Chinput. gbklocale and chinput. gb18030locale appear in/usr/lib/ZWinPro/chinput. ad.
Chinput-3.0.2 still needs pth, unicon-im support.

Ii. minichinput
MiniChinput is modified and packaged on the basis of the Chinput-3.0.1 and unicon-3.0.2. Install minichinput rpm package on it, miniChinput removed the dependence on pth.
It is recommended that you uninstall chinput before installing minichinput, because minichinput is a simplified version of chinput. If you do not uninstall chinput, conflicts may occur.
The directory related to miniChinput is/usr/lib/Chinput. The input method used is in/usr/lib/Chinput/im.
If you use tgz for installation
# Decompress the file from the source package
Tar xfz miniChinput * .tar.gz
# Steps for installing miniChinput
Cd miniChinput
./Configure-prefix =/usr
Make
Make install
Make data
Make data-install
The improvement of minichinput mainly removes the content unrelated to Chinput in unicon and reduces the reliance on special function libraries. it facilitates installation, modifies the intelligent Pinyin input method, supports saving user phrases, and supports saving the system dictionary word frequency adjustment.
The input method startup command is chinput.
It is a lot easier to use, but the switching input method is as inconvenient as chinput. We hope the official version can be improved.

Iii. magicchinput
Magicchinput can be seen as the simplified version of minichinput, developed by the elasticsearch studio. the webpage of elasticsearch studio is http://magicfeather.zouping.com.cn/
It is recommended to download the rpm package of magicchinput. The installation is very simple. The current version of magicchinput is 1.0.
What are the new features of magicchinput?
Seven input modes are supported by default.
Add input Status Bar
The Input Method Configuration tool is added to facilitate the configuration of the system input method.
Add the encoding generator to easily add your own encoding.
Magicchinput installation configuration is similar. The main configuration file is/usr/lib/Chinput. ad. this file will be read when magicchinput is started. it should be noted that you 'd better install the SIMSUN font. Of course you may not install it, but you need to modify the Chinput. ad.
In chinput. gbfontchinput. big5font section. therefore, you only need to modify this information to use this input method normally. similarly, you should add export XMODIFIERS = @ im = Chinput in/etc/bashrc. add the magicchinput startup command to the relevant file.
Magicchinpu provides a switching input method, but unfortunately it cannot be switched at any time. To ensure system stability, every configuration of the input method will be read at the server next time you start the input method.
The intelligent Pinyin input method is also very convenient to use. The input status bar is also good, concise, and beautiful.
Now I have decided to use magicchinput as my Chinese input method.
