To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add chinese to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
The default Chinese input method is Chinese-pyim, if you are a Wubi(五笔) user,
you could set the variable chinese-default-input-method to wubi:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(chinese :variables chinese-default-input-method 'wubi)))When the first time you use Chinese-pyim, you should install the lexicon(词库)
file. You could call pyim-dicts-manager to open up the settings buffer and
press i e to install the default lexicon. The lexicon is about 20M, so you
should be patient when downloading starts. After the lexicon file is downloaded,
just press s to save and R to restart configuration.
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '((chinese :variables
chinese-enable-fcitx t)))If you don’t need to type Chinese in minibuffer, you could temporarily disable fcitx in minibuffer with the following configuration.
(fcitx-aggressive-setup)You need use this with fcitx and make sure fcitx-remote is in your search path.
We don’t have a fcitx in OS X yet but we already added an emulation called
fcitx-remote to make you happy with other Chinese input-methods.
You can install fcitx-remote-for-osx from homebrew.
brew install fcitx-remote-for-osx --with-input-method=baidu-pinyin--with-input-method=baidu-pinyin means install for Baidu-pinyin Input Method.
You can use brew info fcitx-remote-for-osx to get more options info for input
method support.
--with-input-method= Select input method: baidu-pinyin(default), baidu-wubi, sogou-pinyin, qq-wubi, squirrel-rime, osx-pinyin
In order to use fcitx.el in Windows, you should install fcitx-remote-for-windows.
The YouDao Dictionary is disabled by default, if you want enable it.
You should set chinese-enable-youdao-dict to t.
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '((chinese :variables
chinese-enable-youdao-dict t)))
If you are mixing Chinese words with English words, the text is not perfectly
aligned in org table. That’s because normally the Chinese font size is not equal
to the English font size. You could call spacemacs//set-monospaced-font with
your own Chinese font name in dotspacemacs/user-config function.
Example configuration:
;; Note: The Hiragino Sans GB is bundled with MacOS X.
;; If you are not using MacOS X, you should change it to another Chinese font name.
(spacemacs//set-monospaced-font "Source Code Pro" "Hiragino Sans GB" 14 16)You can use avy-goto-char with pinyin supported by default, if you want to
disable it.You can set chinese-enable-avy-pinyin to nil.
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '((chinese :variables
chinese-enable-avy-pinyin nil)))Currently, there are no built-in key bindings for this layer. You could define your own preference.
Here are a few suggested key bindings (remember that SPC o is reserved for
personal usage, spacemacs won´t put any binding under this prefix):
Bind SPC o y to youdao-dictionary-search-at-point+.
Bind SPC o d to find-by-pinyin-dired
