RIME: Rime Input Method Engine, riming with your keystrokes.

Usage:

• install ibus-rime:

  $ sudo make install

• install schemas, take Pinyin as an example:

  $ make schema_pinyin

• restart ibus after installation, and before installing new schemas:

  $ make restart_ibus

• uninstall ibus-rime, but why :-(

  $ sudo make uninstall

• clear zime database, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS:

  $ make clear_db

• save and restore user dictionary for a specific schema:

  $ cd data; python zimedb-admin.py --save Pinyin $ cd data; python zimedb-admin.py --restore Pinyin

Features:
