19 ┃ 3.2 THREE STANDARD INPUT ENVIRONMENT ┃
|
|
20 ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
|
|
21
|
|
22 cWnn has three default input environments, they are:
|
|
23 (a) Combination of Pinyin and Zhuyin input environment
|
|
24 (b) Pinyin centred input environment
|
|
25 (c) Zhuyin centred input environment
|
|
26
|
|
27 Environment (a) supports both Pinyin and Zhuyin methods. Environment (b) supports most
|
|
28 of the commonly used Pinyin and encoded input methods in P.R.China. Environment (c)
|
|
29 supports input methods that are commonly used in Taiwan.
|
|
30
|
|
31 To activate input environment (a), execute directly the client module command.
|
|
32 ┌──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
33 │ % cuum <CR> │
|
|
34 └──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
35 Refer to Section 2.3 for details. We shall now give an example using environments (b)
|
|
36 and (c):
|
|
37
|
|
38 To activate environment (b), use the "-r" option of the "cuum" command, together with
|
|
39 the default path of this input environment. For example,
|
|
40 ┌──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
41 │ % cuum -r /usr/local/lib/wnn/zh_CN/rk_p <CR> │
|
|
42 └──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
43
|
|
44 Similar for input environment (c), do the following:
|
|
45 ┌──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
46 │ % cuum -r /usr/local/lib/wnn/zh_CN/rk_z <CR> │
|
|
47 └──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
48 The "-r" option is explained in Section 6.3.

82 NOTE:
|
|
83 * Refer to Section 3.3 or the glossary page for the explanations of all the input
|
|
84 methods.
|
|
85 * The function keys above (eg. PF1, PF2 .....etc) are the default function keys in
|
|
86 cWnn system. They are used for toggling among the different input modes in each
|
|
87 of the input environment. It is possible to re-define the function keys.
|
|
88 * PF4 has two functions:
|
|
89 (1) When the user is in the "Pinyin centred input environment", PF4 is used
|
|
90 for toggling the input modes, while PF6 is for toggling the environment
|
|
91 operation functions.
|
|
92 (2) When the user is in the "Zhuyin centred input environment" OR in the
|
|
93 "Combination of Pinyin and Zhuyin input environment", both PF4 and PF6
|
|
94 are used for toggling the environment operation functions.

|
|
103 ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
|
|
104
|
|
105 As mentioned in Section 3.2, different input environment supports different input
|
|
106 modes. We shall now explain each of the input mode accordingly.
|
|
107
|
|
108 1. Phonetic
|
|
109 ━━━━━━
|
|
110 The user inputs a Chinese character via their pronunciations. The default phonetic input
|
|
111 modes are as shown below. To enter into the respective i nput mode, simply use the
|
|
112 function keys as shown in Section 3.2.
|
|
113
|
|
114 (a) Quanpin (全拼) : Input a Chinese character using its complete Pinyin. If a tone
|
|
115 is needed, the user enters the number which represents the four
|
|
116 tones, that is, 1,2,3 or 4.
|
|
117
|
|
118 (b) Erpin (二拼) : Input a Chinese character by using only 2 keys. The first key
|
|
119 to represent the consonant and the second to represent the
|
|
120 vowel. If a tone is needed, the corresponding number which
|
|
121 represents the four tones may be entered ie. 1,2,3 or 4.
|
|
122
|
|
123 (c) Sanpin (三拼) : Similar to Erpin, however, it uses 3 keys to represent the
|
|
124 Chinese character, with the third key particularly for the four
|
|
125 tones.
|
|
126 There are certain keys allocated for each of the four tones.
|
|
127 For example, the first tone is represented by keys t,r,e,w,q,1.
|
|
128 Second tone is represented by keys g,f,d,s,a,b,v,c,x,z,2
|
|
129 Third tone is represented by y,u,i,o,p,3 and the fourth tone
|
|
130 by h,j,k,l,n,m,4
|
|
131
|
|
132 (d) Zhuyin (注音) : Input a Chinese character using its complete Zhuyin. If a tone
|
|
133 is needed, the user enters the number which represents the four
|
|
134 tones, that is, 1,2,3 or 4.
|
|

|
|
150 - 3-3 -
|
|
151 2. Radical
|
|
152 ━━━━━
|
|
153 To input a Chinese character, the user needs to input according to the components of
|
|
154 the character. The default radical input modes are shown below. To enter into the
|
|
155 respective input mode, simply use the function keys as shown in Section 3.2.
|
|
156
|
|
157 (a) Wubi (五笔) : Chinese characters are broken down into their components. Wubi
|
|
158 uses at most four keys to represent one Chinese character, and
|
|
159 each key represents one component of the character. Once the
|
|
160 four components are entered, the system automatically performs
|
|
161 the conversion to Hanzi. If input components do not correspond to
|
|
162 the Chinese character, the input will be cancelled automatically.
|
|
163
|
|
164 If the Chinese character requires less than four keys to
|
|
165 represent itself, the input may be completed by pressing the
|
|
166 space bar.
|
|
167
|
|
168 When the user is uncertain of the components of a Chinese
|
|
169 character, he can enter "?" or "z" as a wildcard to select all
|
|
170 the possible characters. The way to select the correct
|
|
171 candidate is similar to Pinyin input method. Refer to Section
|
|
172 3.4.
|
|
173
|
|
174 (b) Qianma (钱码) : This is another method where input is via the components of the
|
|
175 characters. At most three keys are used to represent one
|
|
176 Chinese character, and each key represents one component of the
|
|
177 character. Once the three components are entered, the system
|
|
178 automatically perform the conversion to Hanzi. If the components
|
|
179 do not correspond to the Chinese character, the input will be
|
|
180 cancelled automatically.
|
|
181
|
|
182 If the Chinese character requires less than three keys, the
|
|
183 input can be completed by pressing the space bar.
|
|
184
|
|
185 When the user is uncertain of the components of a Chinese
|
|
186 character, he can enter "?" or "z" as a wildcard to select all
|
|
187 the possible characters. The way to select the correct
|
|
188 candidate is similar to Pinyin input method. Refer to Section
|
|
189 3.4.
|
|
190
|
|
191 (c) Cangjie (仓颉) : Chinese characters are broken down into their components.
|
|
192 Cangjie also uses at most four keys to represent one Chinese
|
|
193 character, and each key represents one component of the character.
|
|
194 Once the four components are entered, the system automatically
|
|
195 performs the conversion to Hanzi. If input components do not
|
|
196 correspond to the Chinese character, the input will be cancelled
|
|
197 automatically.
|
|

|
|
200 - 3-4 -
|
|
201 3. ASCII Input
|
|
202 ━━━━━━━
|
|
203 (a) Banjiao (半角) : To input standard ASCII characters (1 byte) at the front-end
|
|
204 processor instead of at the C Shell prompt.
|
|
205
|
|
206 (b) Quanjiao (全角) : To input wide ASCII characters (2 bytes), at the front-end
|
|
207 processor instead of at the C Shell prompt.
|
|
208
|
|
209
|
|
210 4. Other Input
|
|
211 ━━━━━━━
|
|
212 (a) Quwei (区位) : Input four integers to represent one Chinese character. These
|
|
213 four integers represent the area and position numbers of each
|
|
214 character in the Guobiao Table.
|
|
215
|
|
216 (b) Neima (内码) : Input four hexadecimal numbers to represent a Chinese character.
|
|
217 These hexadecimal numbers are the internal code of the Chinese
|
|
218 characters.
|
|
219
|
|
220 (c) Guobiao (国标) : Input four hexadecimal numbers to represent a Chinese character.
|
|
221 These numbers are the Guobiao Code of each character in the
|
|
222 Guobiao Table.

301 2. The Phonetic Input Process
|
|
302 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
303 We will now give an example of the input procedure using Pinyin. For other phonetic
|
|
304 input methods, the procedure will be the same.
|
|
305
|
|
306 After the startup of cuum, press ^\ to enter into the input environment. The user will
|
|
307 be able to see the prompt as shown below, after which Pinyin input is possible.

|
|
313
|
|
314 (a) Pinyin input
|
|
315 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
316 - The user needs to input a complete Pinyin of a chinese character for 全拼 mode.
|
|
317 For example, the character 中 is represented by zhong.
|
|
318 The Pinyin may be entered with or without the four tones. The four tones are
|
|
319 represented by 1,2 3,4 respectively eg. zhong or zhong1.
|
|
320
|
|
321 - After entering the four tone, you will see the following:
|
|
322 ┌──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
323 │ 全拼: Zh幁ng幚 │
|
|
324 └──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
325
|
|
326 - In certain cases, the space bar may be used to end a Pinyin input.
|
|
327 For example, the character 的. You may enter "de" followed by a space.
|
|
328 ┌──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
329 │ 全拼: de_ │
|
|
330 └──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
331 The system will segment this input as one character.
|
|
332 ┌──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
333 │ 全拼: De幚 │
|
|
334 └──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
335
|
|
336 - Any arbitrary length of Pinyin is allowed. The system will perform an auto-
|
|
337 checking for the Pinyin entered, to ensure a legal Pinyin input.
|
|

|
|
351 - User may correct his mistakes by just moving the cursor to the particular
|
|
352 position and do the correction, without having to re-type the entire Pinyin
|
|
353 string again.
|
|
354
|
|
355 The following keys can be used to manipulate the input :
|
|

|
371
|
|
372 ^W (or 变换) To obtain all candidates. This is also the conversion
|
|
373 key. If there are too many candidates to be displayed at
|
|
374 one time, use the ↓ and ↑ keys to browse the next and
|
|
375 previous sets of candidates respectively.

|
|
381 - After you have ensured that the Pinyin input are correct, press the convert
|
|
382 key (变换) to perform the conversion from Pinyin to Chinese character.
|
|
383 The converted result will be shown as below:

|
|
391 - At certain times, the conversion might not be accurate. For example it may
|
|
392 give 钟 instead of 中. In this case, the user may request for further
|
|
393 conversions and selections to obtain the correct Chinese characters. This is
|
|
394 done by pressing the convert key (变换) again. You will now see the following:
|
|

501 (f) An example of Pinyin-Zhuyin standardization
|
|
502 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
503 As mentioned, Pinyin and Zhuyin are standardized in cWnn. The same internal
|
|
504 code is used to represent each Chinese pronunciation in Pinyin and Zhuyin.
|
|
505 When the user input via Pinyin or Zhuyin, the input string will first be
|
|
506 converted to the internal code before any conversion. Hence, both Pinyin or
|
|
507 Zhuyin maybe input at the same time. For example, the phrase 今天天气正好.
|
|
508
|
|
509 A user may use Pinyin to input this phrase. However, he may forget the
|
|
510 the Pinyin for 天气. In this case, he may change the input mode to "注音"
|
|
511 (via PF1 in cWnn). All Pinyin input will be converted to Zhuyin at once,
|
|
512 and the user may continue his input using Zhuyin.

617 enter "?" or "z" as a wildcard to select all the possible characters.
|
|
618 For example, he may know the first two alphabet "ip", but is uncertain of
|
|
619 the next two alphabets. In this case he may do this:
