The aim is to type pinyin with tones directly like typing Chinese:
nǐ hǎo!
I also installed a double pinyin flypy to type Chinese.
Assume you alrady have fcitx on your system. Ibus or fcitx-5 should be similar.
Install Rime. This is the input method.
yain fcitx-rime
Install Plum to configure Rime.
git clone https://github.com/rime/plum.git plum.git
cd plum.git
make
As we use fcitx here, we need to run:
rime_frontend=fcitx-rime bash rime-install
bash rime-install double-pinyin
For the pinyin github I copeid the file to
My home/.config/fcitx/rime/.
My home/.config/fcitx/rime/default.custom.yaml
patch:
schema_list:
- schema: double_pinyin_flypy
- schema: lumen_pinyi
Restart the input system. Switch to Rime, right click to deploy.
Ctrl + ` to configure the Rime input method, e.g. to use simplified Chinese instead of traditional one.
