Gõkey - A Vietnamese input method editor.
technical curiosity
This is my attempt to build an input method editor using only Rust. It's not the first, and definitely not the last.
The goal is to create an input method editor that enable users to type Vietnamese text on the computer using either VNI or TELEX method. Other than that, no other features are planned.
There are 2 options to download GõKey at this moment: Build from source or Download the Nightly build.
Nightly build is the prebuilt binary that automatically bundled everytime we merged the code to the main
branch.
You can download it at the Release page here: https://github.com/huytd/goxkey/releases/tag/nightly-build
The source code can be compiled easily:
git clone https://github.com/huytd/goxkey && cd goxkey
Run the bundle command:
cargo bundle
After that, you'll find the Gõ Key.app
file in the target/debug/bundle
folder. Copy it to your /Applications
folder.
Without this step, the app will crash and can't be use.
It would be much appreciated if you want to make a small donation to support my work!
Your name will be put on a special place in the application as a thank you gesture from the development team!
Do you know how to type gõkey in Telex?
