Sogou Pinyin input method under Linux: ibus-cloud-pinyin

In Windows, Sogou Pinyin input method has a large number of users because of its large vocabulary and high recognition rate, and it has become an input method necessary for installation. Although there are quite a few up-and-coming players who are hitting Sogou's input method, we have to admit that Sogou input method is an excellent input method, especially the introduction of Sogou cloud input method, which is to promote Sogou's technology to a level.

Under Linux, there are a lot of input method platforms, but it is difficult to find a really easy input method. I believe everyone has the same feeling! Sogou does not have a Linux version, but an ibus-sogoupycc turned out to make up for this regret---it has Sogou's cloud computing technology and local vocabulary, so it can achieve the same high recognition rate as Sogou. This is an unofficial version, and the project will be replaced by ibus-cloud-pinyin in the future. The new project will support a variety of input Web Pinyin services with other improvements. Features Smooth input experience: Multi-threaded request, no need to wait for the cloud server to return results, no need to select words, input no blocking, unprecedented smooth input experience and corrective mode: can choose words, can load multiple thesaurus, and Corrective support for selected incorrect results Double spelling and simple spelling: Complete support for all kinds of double spelling schemes, allowing only the initials to be input, allowing full use of the spelling in the double spelling. Flexible configuration: Many configuration options involve The details of the input method, the configuration file itself is a scripting language, can be very flexible Support extension: Support extension, a few lines of code can be very useful Offline use: Even if the network conditions are not good or no network, the input method can integrate the cloud server and local The thesaurus, or simply based on the local vocabulary, this software, which can be called "Sogou cloud input method client", is based on the Linux-based IBus input method platform, which is Ubuntu's default input platform. If there is no IBus in the system, enter the command at the terminal: sudo apt-get install ibus to install. Go to ibus-sogoupycc's official website http://code.google.com/p/ibus-sogoupycc to download the input method and local vocabulary, install them in order, log out or restart, you can add this input in the IBus preferences. Law, the name is Sogou Cloud (Sogou Cloud Input Method). Under

default settings, the user enters the effect of the display as shown below, does not suggest the candidate word (due to its high recognition rate, requiring a lower probability of choice of words).

course, not possible to identify 100% accurate, need to select word, press Tab to display the candidate words, as shown below.

However, beginning with this input method is not used to it really. . . And cloud input is not very easy when the network is not good, you need to turn it off, offline mode only uses local thesaurus.

Here to talk about how to customize the input method it more in line with their own input habit. Open the terminal, enter the command: nautilus $HOME/.config/ibus Open the configuration folder of IBus, create a subfolder sogoupycc in this folder, and create an empty file in the newly created subfolder, named config. Lua. Open this file with any text editor, copy and paste the following content:
-- Enter Enter English ime.raw_preedit_key = key.Return-- Left and right Shift switch between English and Chinese ime.eng_mode_key = {key.Shift_R, key .Shift_L}ime.chs_mode_key = ime.eng_mode_key-- PageUp&PageDown ime.page_up_key = key.Page_Upime.page_down_key = key.Page_Down-- 1-9 word selection, space selection first ime.label_keys = { {key.space, '1', label = '1'}, {'2', label = '2& ;#39;}, {'3', label = '3'}, {'4', label = &#39 ;4'}, {'5', label = '5'}, {'6', label = & #39;6'}, {'7', label = '7'}, {'8', label = '8'}, {'9', label = '9'} }-- Do not prompt Chinese and English to switch ime.show_notificaion = false Then save the file, log out or restart the system settings to take effect. Results as shown below. Here is just an example. For more detailed setup, please see http://code.google.com/p/ibus-sogoupycc/wiki/Configuration for a detailed description of the user profile.
