Using Terra Pinyin (地球拼音） in RIME

If you want to be able to type not just hao and get a whole list of Hanzi, but be able to specify which hao you want (for example, hao4 which among others would give you 號), you will want to use Terra Pinyin. It's like normal pinyin you already know, supports typing just the first letter and have it suggest the correct sentence (for example: jttqhh might suggest 今天天氣很好), but it also let's you enter tones.

By default, the tones are entered as follows:

  • - is first tone. So ma- would be mā, which would give you 媽
  • / is second tone. So hui/ would be huí, which would give you 回
  • < is third tone. So ma< would be mǎ, which would give you 馬
  • \ is fourth tone. So hui\ would be huì, which would give you 會.

Customizing RIME

🐧 You can find the user files for RIME at $HOME/.config/ibus/rime/ if using iBus. It's recommended you read the Arch Wiki for this topic, even if not using Arch. 🪟 You can find the files for RIME at C:/Program Files/RIME/Weasel/ on Windows. The .schema.yaml files are the ones that define a layout. With a text editor you can change a few things (such as disabling the shift button from enabling alphabet mode, forcing ROC standard characters rather than variant characters used over in Singapore or mainland China (為 instead of 爲 etc.), and more.
