About OpenVanilla

最新版本由此處下載 (opens in a new tab)

僅以此 README 紀念李士傑 (Shih-Chieh Ilya Li, 1973-2019)。

簡介

OpenVanilla 是一套為 Mac 設計的輸入法套件。內建的輸入法包括了倉頡、簡易(速成)、大易、行列、符號與日文假名共五種。使用者可透過偏好設定,匯入其他輸入法的表格,來建立符合自己需要的輸入法。

注音輸入法(包括傳統注音以及自動選字注音)的使用者,可安裝「[小麥注音](http://mcbopomofo.openvanilla.org)」。

安裝方式

下載最新版本,瀏覽器解壓縮安裝包後,會看到「安裝 OpenVanilla」的安裝程式。執行安裝程式後,即可從螢幕右上方的輸入法選單(所謂的國旗選單)選取 OpenVanilla。

第一次安裝,預設的輸入法為倉頡。使用者可依需要選取內建輸入法,或是從「OpenVanilla 偏好設定…」中匯入自己所需的輸入法。

系統需求

macOS 10.15 Catalina 或更高版本。

軟體授權

本專案採用 MIT License 釋出,使用者可自由使用、散播本軟體,惟散播時必須保持軟體完整、不得修改版權文字。授權全文在此 (opens in a new tab)。

卸載方式

要卸載 OpenVanilla,請在 Finder 視窗中按著  鍵 (Command 鍵) 不放,繼續按 Shift 鍵和 G 鍵 (Cmd-Shift-G),這時會出現對話框,打入 ~/Library/Input Methods/ 按下 Enter 鍵,這時會跳出一個資料夾,將裡面的 OpenVanilla 檔拖入垃圾桶,登出目前帳號再登入即可。

線上論壇

有使用上的問題,可在 OpenVanilla 的 Google Groups 線上論壇 (opens in a new tab)上提出。

常見問題

Q: 注音輸入法要去哪裡安裝?

小麥注音是 OpenVanilla 作者群開發的新輸入法,提供自動選字的注音(類似微軟新注音或漢音)以及俗稱「ㄅ半」的傳統注音。小麥注音可從[此處](http://mcbopomofo.openvanilla.org)取得。

Q: 舊版安裝程式要去哪邊找?

OpenVanilla 的歷來版本都可從GitHub 的釋出版本頁面 (opens in a new tab)找到。要注意的是,1.0 之前的舊版,由於年代久遠,不保證能在現在的 macOS 上正確安裝,請參閱各版本的釋出說明。

Q: 如何取得其他輸入法表格?

常用的輸入法表格可從 OpenVanilla 的原始碼網站 (opens in a new tab)下載,例如大字集的倉頡 (opens in a new tab)、粵語拼音 (opens in a new tab)、電信碼 (opens in a new tab)、五筆 (opens in a new tab)等。

(註:粵拼自 OpenVanilla 1.3.0 開始內建,同時內建有調號及無調號兩種版本。)

在 Chinese Open Desktop 專案中,也提供許多可以使用的輸入法表格 (opens in a new tab)。

Q: 如何匯入輸入法表格?

將 OpenVanilla 輸入法選單拉下來,選「OpenVanilla 偏好設定…」,然後選「加入新輸入法」,按「匯入…」按鈕,然後選取下載來的 .cin 檔案就可以了。

Q: 如何製作自己的 .cin 輸入法表格檔?

請參考這份[舊文件](CinHowTo.markdown)。請注意文件內容已經有許多地方過時。OpenVanilla 1.0 版不再需要使用者自行複製檔案到特定目錄(目錄也已經改名),現在從偏好設定就可以加入或移除自訂的輸入法了。

Q: 其他非表格類的輸入法,要去哪裡取得?

以下是一些 OpenVanilla 過去支援,從 1.0 開始不再提供的輸入法,以及替代方案:

  • 注音輸入法(自動選字注音及傳統注音):請下載[小麥注音](http://mcbopomofo.openvanilla.org)
  • 藏文輸入法:macOS 已經內建
  • POJ: 請使用[信望愛台語客語輸入法](http://taigi.fhl.net/TaigiIME/)或教育部臺灣閩南語漢字輸入法 (opens in a new tab);這些輸入法都有 Mac 版本。另外也可以參考基於 RIME 的萌台語 (opens in a new tab)輸入法

另外,嘸蝦米輸入法的使用者,請前往[嘸蝦米官方網站](http://boshiamy.com)取得 Mac 版本。

Q: 輸入法在有的程式可以用,有的程式卻顯示灰色的圖示,怎麼辦?

這可能是 macOS 的 bug。要解決此問題,請先完全卸載 OpenVanilla(卸載方式請參考上面),重新登入後,再重新安裝一次 OpenVanilla。
