0.0.9 - Basic Pinyin Correction and Forget Words

Highlights

• The application now targets Android API 34, and exposes input methods as subtypes to system input method picker @rocka
• Pinyin input method from fcitx5-chinese-addons gains basic error correction support for adjacent keys in the same row @wengxt
• Pinyin/Shuangpin and Table input methods from fcitx5-chinese-addons are able to "forget word" by long pressing the candidates @cinit
• RIME Plugin includes rime-predict for next-word prediction @eagleoflqj

Notable changes

• "Global Options - Show preedit in application" has been enabled by default, you may need to enable it manually after upgrading from old versions.
  For those who don't like composing text (aka client preedit) in applications, pinyin and rime engine now include a "Preedit Mode" option to disable it.
• As many users requested, English input method now provides an option "Disable word hint based on editor attributes".
  Turning it off would make the input method ignore InputType flags from editor and provide word hint regardless.

Build process improvements

• descriptor.json generated on Windows actually works, by replacing backslash ("\") in path with forward slash ("/")

New features

• Allow client preedit in global options and pinyin engine by default
• Expose input method as subtypes to system input method picker on Android 14+
• Handle subtype switching via system input method picker
• Raise keyboard side padding limit to 300dp
• Add shrug emoticon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• Swipe left backspace key to clear predict candidates
• Apply keyboard side padding to preedit
• Use KP_Separator/KP_Equal for comma/dot in NumberKeyboard
• Trigger "forget word" by long pressing on candidates from pinyin and table engine
• Option to mask sensitive data (such as password) in clipboard UI
• Option to show word hint regardless of InputType flags
• Prompt to restart after changing verbose logging preference
• Option to disable swipe gesture on space key
• OpenCC config shows a list of available profiles

• Toolbar above keyboard sometimes become blank when switching input methods
• Unable to detect other input method apps on Android 14
• Fix crash in androidkeyboard when commit characters with byte length > 1
• Last symbol state cannot be remembered when switching between SymbolPicker/NumberKeyboard for multiple times
• Keyboard theme won't follow system dark mode when dark mode changes while app is not running
