Linux configuration Chinese Input method (Sogou IME)

First, the basic knowledge

In the native ubuntu14.04 English environment system only ibus Pinyin, really is very difficult to use. Because Sogou Input method is indeed more than the Linux system other Chinese input methods are much more useful, so I decided to install in my Ubuntu 14.04 system Sogou Input method. The input method of the Linux system is based on the input method framework, the input method frame, and then the specific input method. A framework often has a variety of input methods, a framework is often a multi-lingual input method. In the history of Linux, there have been a variety of input method frameworks, such as SCIM, FCITX, IBUs and so on. Input Method Frame replacement is also very frequent, such as the once very popular SCIM Input Method framework is now basically dead. In the latest Ubuntu system and Fedora system, the default is to use the IBUs framework, but the Sogou input method is based on the FCITX input method framework. Fortunately, the default Input method framework of Linux system is configurable, but also in Ubuntu software source has the FCITX IME framework package.

Second, install the Sogou input Method Step 1, configure Ubuntu

In system settings, language support, select the language and apply it to the system

Note: You need to restart the system after configuration to take effect, but if the computer has not installed FCITX, and so on after installing the Input method framework after the restart.

2. Configure Input Method Framework

Sogou Input method is built on the FCITX framework, so the input method framework is selected as Fictx

If you do not have the FCITX option, then you need to install the FCITX framework after the configuration, the installation method is

After configuring the IME framework, restart the Ubuntu system. If the configuration succeeds after the reboot, the FCITX setting option (a small keyboard icon) appears in the upper-right corner of the taskbar.

3. Install Sogou Pinyin Input Method

Visit Sogou Input Method Linux version of the official website, http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux, download Sogou Input Method Linux version. From the official website you can see that the input method is officially only supported by Ubuntu (but someone on the internet can use the input method on Fedora by converting the Deb package into an RPM package, which I haven't tried).

After the download is complete, use dpkg-i *.deb to install the Sogou input method. After the installation is complete, you can switch between Chinese and English input methods by Shift key. But if you want to use it, you need to restart Ubuntu once, and you 're done ...

Third, the use of VIM instructions

If you use VIM, need vim support Chinese side can use this input method in Vim, now installed vim default is support Chinese, if not support the installation of a Chinese plugin can be. Specific plug-in installation method can be directly on-line search, there are many introductions.
