Rime::Home Documentation

repository·master·Indexed 26 days ago

https://github.com/rime/home

Central hub for the Rime project, providing access to the official website, documentation wiki, and issue tracking. It covers the Rime universal Chinese input method framework, including the librime engine and platform-specific frontends like Weasel (Windows), Squirrel (macOS), and ibus-rime (Linux). The documentation includes guides on input schemes (Luna Pinyin, Terra Pinyin, Combo Pinyin), the plum configuration manager, spelling algebra, and technical blog posts regarding Leptos and Wasm integration.

What's inside Rime::Home

  1. Understand the Rime Project Purpose and Architecture

    master

    Rime is a universal Chinese input method framework designed to allow users to create custom input schemes for various phonologies and dialects. It is built as a data-driven engine where user-defined input schemes drive the components that process input data streams.

    Key architectural concepts:

    • RIME (Rime Input Method Engine): The core engine.
    • librime: The cross-platform input method engine code.
    • Frontend Frameworks: Platform-specific implementations that handle system API interaction, inter-process communication, and candidate selection interfaces (e.g., weasel for Windows, squirrel for macOS, and ibus-rime for Linux/IBus).

  2. Understand Rime Platform Compatibility

    master

    RIME (中州韻輸入法引擎) is a cross-platform input method algorithm framework. Because it is a framework, different frontend implementations exist for various operating systems. Developers and open-source contributors have created implementations for:

    • Windows
    • macOS
    • Linux
    • Android
    • iOS

  3. Understand Spelling Algebra in Rime

    master

    Spelling Algebra is a core Rime technology used to describe the mapping between input codes (keys pressed) and syllable codes (the actual phonetic representation).

    Instead of static mappings, it uses a set of rules based on regular expressions to perform operations like transcription, transformation, derivation, and elimination. This allows users to define custom input methods such as:

    • Pinyin Abbreviation (Jianpin): Using initials to represent whole syllables.
    • Double Pinyin (Shuangpin): Mapping specific keys to specific components (initials/finals) of a syllable.

    By combining these rules, Rime projects a set of syllable codes onto a set of input codes.

  4. Understand Rime Recipes (℞)

    master
    A Recipe (denoted as ℞) is a data distribution format supported by the plum configuration management tool. Recipes are used to install input schemes, modify existing configurations, or implement custom features within the Rime input engine.

  5. Access Rime::Home documentation and resources

    master

    You can find the official project home page, detailed documentation, and issue reporting channels for Rime::Home below:

    • Project Home Page: https://rime.im
    • Documentation: Detailed guides and documentation are maintained on the Rime Wiki.
    • Issue Reporting: To report bugs or request features specifically related to the Rime project site, documentation, or the Rime::Home repository itself, use the GitHub Issues page.

  6. Access Rime Theme Music and Sheet Music

    master

    The Rime project provides theme music celebrating the Rime input method trilogy: 中州韻 (Zhongzhou Yun), 小狼毫 (Weasel), and 鼠鬚管 (Squirrel). You can access the musical compositions, including piano versions and video performances, via the following resources:

  7. Access Rime documentation and guides

    master

    Rime provides several levels of documentation depending on your expertise and goals:

    • Beginners: Use the Getting Started guide for essential usage methods and tips.
    • Intermediate (Customization): Follow the Customization Guide for basic configuration.
    • Advanced (Schema Design): Refer to the RimeWithSchemata guide for designing input schemas.
    • Expert (Development): Visit the /code section for program development.
    • Troubleshooting: Consult the FAQ for common issues.

    Full documentation is available at the Rime Wiki.

  10. Install the Spelling Algebra Debugger (Preview)

    master

    The debugger was distributed as part of the 'Rime Kit' using node-webkit.

    Note: This specific preview version is marked as abandoned (棄坑) in the repository.

    To run the preview version, you would typically need:

    1. A node-webkit runtime (e.g., node-webkit-v0.7.1-win-ia32.zip).
    2. The application file: rimekit-1.0-preview20130827.nw.

    Open the .nw file using the nw executable from your node-webkit installation.

  12. Install iRime (Rime with Fool) on iOS

    master

    iRime (also known as iRimeWithFool) is an iOS implementation of the Rime input engine.

    Requirements:

    • Device: iPhone 5c or higher (iPad is not yet supported).
    • OS Version: iOS 12.3 or higher.

    Installation Steps:

    1. Download the application from the official source: https://rime.im/download/.
    2. Follow the detailed installation guide: https://github.com/rime/home/wiki/RimeWithTheCode.

    Warning: This software is marked as UNSTABLE. Use it at your own risk.
