Usage: rime-tui [OPTIONS]

Currently, this program only runs on *nix operating systems, with X11 graphics environment. The reason writes below:

Pure terminal has no way to listen key down events (say, raw key events), and for this program key listening is achieved via X11 APIs. This means an active X11 server is also needed.

Seems librime doesn't provide a way to redirect its log outputs, so I use "file descriptor duplication" (Rust gag crate) and pipe(2) to intercept stderr, printing its content inside the TUI App "Output" area. These APIs only exist on *nix platforms.
