Description

This is an Input Method Editor (IME) designed for Chromebooks (running ChromeOS). It supports loading customized tables that are compatible with XCIN or GCIN table files (*.xcin and *.gtab). - You can even use the official Boshiamy gtab file. To install and activate the IME on a Chromebook: - Install the extension - Click the status in right-bottom corner (showing the system time) to popup the system config menu, select "Keyboard", then the gear icon in the right-top corner of the "Input Methods" menu to enter the "Inputs" setting page. (Alternatively, you can also get there by Settings, Device, Keyboards and Inputs, Input settings), and then click "Add input methods". - Type to search for "JSCIN Chinese Input Methods", select and Add - Switch your keyboard to "[ZH] JsCIN Chinese Input Methods" to start typing. - You can use the extension options page to load your favorite input method table. See https://github.com/google/jscin/blob/main/docs/USER_GUIDE.md if you need help. What's new: v3.1.4: - Fixed: Simplex can't move to the next page of candidates by SPACE v3.1.3: - Fixed: GCIN %flag_disp_partial_match should only work in auto compose mode - Revised the description and list of options v3.1.2: - Revised the space options (description and function). - Stop showing the CrossQuery window before typing new characters. - Support CIN2 %nullcandidate and GCIN %flag_disp_partial_match v3.1.1: (a major update) - The fresh new designed "Input Method Details" dialog with all per-table configurable options, replacing the 'Types' selection. - The candidates window will now report page numbers if there are more than one page of candidates. For input methods using SPACE to select the first candidate (e.g, Boshiamy & Dayi), navigate the candidates using arrow keys, PageUp/Dn, '<' and '>'. - Supports horizontal candidate window (issue #40) - Last selected input method will be now be sticky when you switch on/off. - Revised SPACE behavior when there are multiple pages of candidates. - Fixed "Failed parsing phrase based GTAB (issue #39)" - Fixed "CrossQuery may go wrong in options" - Fixed "Candidates remained even after we deleted the whole composition" - Fixed "Adding a table in the options will see duplicated items" - Fixed "CrossQuery failed to work with built-in tables" - Fixed "Press the selection key AFTER last candidate will clear the composition" - Fixed "Composition & related text were not cleared when switching IMEs on/off". - Supports XCIN command %AUTO_UPCHAR and %END_KEY - Deprecates JsCIN command %PHRASE_CHARDEF v3.0.2: - Default to allow SPACE to reset after error (issue #37) - Supports reading Array quick keys from GCIN GTAB (issue #39) - Fixed GCIN tables using %flag_unique_auto_send - Better error handling (max keystrokes, visible error, ...) - Fixed broken GenInp v3.0.1: - New built-in Array30 table from github/gontera - New feature issue #36: single-press shift to toggle raw-input mode - Fixed issue #38 that Esc on error composition does not work

It simply does not work. The extension icon is grayed out. I don't see how it can be activated. It took me more than 10 hours by searching all kinds of website: 1. Those websites seem old. It looks nobody is using the extension. 2. Some of the website refers to ChromeOS instead of chrome browser extension. So I guess this extension is totally abandoned.

[Please let me know how to un-install it] The tool itself works ok. But the negative part is they use shift key to switch language input as default. But after I installed on chromebook, every time I click shift on my PC or laptop it will switch to Chinese input without letting me to type English. This is terrible. And I can't find any information to remove it. Hope they fix it soon.
