v0.2.0
ainuKey v0.2.0 — first downloadable release
The Rust rewrite of the Ainu Text Services Framework (TSF) IME, packaged as a Windows installer.
Features
- Romaji → katakana input with robust normalization (
ti→チ,chi→チ,shi→シ, macron/circumflex → acute) and correct final consonants —wakka→ワㇰカ,tumpu→ト゚ㇺプ — viaainconv. - Candidate window — a suggestion popup rendered near the caret.
- Kana / Latin mode-switch language-bar button and a settings dialog.
- Trilingual UI (Ainu / 日本語 / English).
- Registered under Japanese (Win+Space → ainuKey); Windows has no Ainu locale.
Note
- The n-gram suggestion table is not shipped in this build, so the candidate window has no data yet — word suggestions arrive in v0.2.1.
Install
Run ainuKey-0.2.0-x86_64-windows-setup.exe (or unzip the portable build). Then Win+Space → ainuKey and type romaji.
