Feature request: Support of wildcard character

[ChristophSchmidpeter]

Some Cangjie implementations support a wildcard character. A possible implementation is described in the IBus Cangjie documentation:

Wildcards Do you really know all the input codes for all the 70000+ Chinese characters? No? Well don’t worry, we thought about that. Whenever you don’t know the exact input code of a character, just try using a wildcard. For example, the Cangjie code for 你 is onf. But if you only remember the beginning and end, just try typing o*f, and we’ll return it, along with 繁 (okvif), 煲 (odf) and all the characters for which the code starts with an o and ends with an f.

I think having such a feature would be greatly helpful, especially when you are still learning new characters. For example, one could still enter a character into a Cangjie dictionary, even if one cannot figure out the exact Cangjie code.

Is such a feature possible to implement on the rime-cangjie level from a technical standpoint? Or does it need to be implemented into rime itself?

[LEOYoon-Tsaw]

No. It would needs extra rime features

@LEOYoon-Tsaw Thanks for the info

@LEOYoon-Tsaw But Array schema has wildcard features. You can enter l?x to get 我(lox). So why can't Cangjie be the same?
