Input method in FreeBSD virtual terminal (Week5)

Date: 07/05-07/11

This week I divided all commands into two main categories: One is to send keys literally, that is, the key command, and the other is to perform special IME actions, e.g., delete-char, commit-raw. And all keymappings of keys and commands are defined with tmux's bind-key command.

I also drew the structure diagram of tmux-rime and made a slide.

• The diagram: https://gitlab.com/Cycatz/tmux-rime/-/blob/main/assets/structure_small.png
• The slide: https://gitlab.com/Cycatz/tmux-rime/-/blob/main/slide/presentation.pdf

I believed I have finished the basic skeleton of the tmux-rime project, here are some todos I might implement someday.

• Candidate selection
• Schema selection

• Custom IME status bar
• Custom plugin options
  • Use tmux user options (prefixed with @) to define variables
• Custom key mappings
  • Define what keys need to be bound in tmux

• Write tests
• Write documentation
• Set up plugin installation process
