Dude, that’s fucking righteous. I don’t even need it, but the fact that you did it is cool as hell :)

i know i’ve wanted something like this for a while. i really didn’t want to have to figure out how to get the existing keyman keyboard layout to work on linux, because fcitx works fine for all my other input needs, and i already knew how fcitx worked as i made an addon to get on-screen keyboards to work with it a while back…

as i know not many people would dare venture in the world of fcitx addons, due to the quite horrendous state the documentation is in… so if i wasn’t gonna do it, likely no-one else was, so i did it! and shared it with everyone, because the worse that could happen is that someone helps me make it better!

This is awesome, OP. I've crossposted this to @linguistics to give you a little more visibility. Cheers.

That’s really cool!
The screencasting of the keys also caught my attention, may I ask what you used for that?

i used ShowMeTheKeys!

That’s amazing! May I suggest using space as a terminator instead of =? We do that all the time in Pinyin Input method and it’s quite convenient

= is not a terminator! it’s a modifier for the previous key: e= -> ə!

i did set up both space and enter to commit a word though, yeah!
