Sumibi v6.0.0

What's New

Chinese Pinyin Input Method (sumibi-chinese)

Sumibi now supports Chinese input! A new module sumibi-chinese enables Pinyin-to-Chinese conversion powered by LLM API.

Key Features

• Pinyin to Chinese conversion — Type Pinyin and press C-j to convert to Chinese characters
  • Example: wo shi zhongguo ren → 我是中国人
• Simplified & Traditional Chinese — Switch with sumibi-chinese-character-set
  • 'simplified (default): 简体字 output
  • 'traditional: 繁體字 output
• Tone number input — Append tone numbers (1-4) to Pinyin for more accurate conversion
  • Example: ma1 ma2 ma3 ma4 → 妈麻马骂
• Undo support — Press C-j again after conversion to re-enter candidate selection, or use standard Emacs undo (C-/)
• Candidate popup — Select from multiple conversion candidates, including the original Pinyin
