2025 Chewing Roadmap

[Kan-Ru Chen]

Hi,

It's time for reflection and thinking about new year's wishes.

I wrote down some improvements or experiments I'd like to do in 2025:

- libchewing
- Key to command mapping API
- Config file (ini or toml) load / save API
- More layers of input conversion buffer to support features like
- English word detection
- Toneless and space less pinyin (ni hao vs nihao)
- Dictionary management API
- 整理教育部跟 Wikipedia CGroups 的辭典
- Support 台語拼音
- Experiment new conversion engine
- Learn some tricks from Anthy
- Update to Rust 2024 edition
- Refactor const usage to use 1.83 feature (especially in syllable.rs)
- ibus-chewing
- Add setup support for personal dictionaries
- Add setup support for key mapping
- Use opencc or zhconv-rs to convert zh-tw to zh-cn
- windows-chewing-tsf
- Remove compartment related code
- Move the rest of libIME to rust and simplify
- Add setup support for personal dictionaries
- Add setup support for key mapping
- Explore TIPCAP_LOCALSERVER by reverse engineering using OleView.NET
- Use opencc or zhconv-rs to convert zh-tw to zh-cn
- chewing-settings-center
- Rewrite chewing-editor using Slint
- Add support for cross-platform settings UI

有沒有可能加入切換時輸入法時發聲提示？因為我筆電鍵盤很爛常常誤觸，打了半天字後來才發現卻不在想要的中或英文 模式 上做白工，這樣浪費 的時間成本太高。假如切換模式 馬上有提示音就可以馬上確認是否誤按
（我對 rust 不熟，但是我寫過 c#, python 這些...久沒寫能力有點生疏，但是給點時間應該可以抓起來。只要跟我說源碼的那一段鍵盤攔截後要塞入發音的code ，還有在設置ui 哪裡要去改哪個設置檔...也許我就能幫忙這一段，
BTW, pime 有看到有設置程式，chewing-tsf 好像沒看到？
