fcitx-remote for OS X

fcitx-remote

fcitx-remote is a tool to control fcitx state via console. Users in Linux use it for interaction with their vim or emacs to avoid being interrupted by input method.

Plugins

• Vim: fcitx.vim - keep and restore fcitx state when leaving/re-entering insert mode: vim online The new version of this plugin uses socket to communicate fcitx which is not emulated by current version of fcitx-remote-osx, so you have to use the backported version under the directory so/fcitx.vim of lilydjwg/fcitx.vim.

  Also available as a stand repo at CodeFalling/fcitx-vim-osx

• Emacs: cute-jumper/fcitx.el . Due to the limits of the Wubi Xing input source, you may not use Emacs with it.

How this works

fcitx-remote for OS X dosen't rely on fcitx at all. It is just a small program that responds to fcitx.el etc. just like it's really a fcitx-remote in GNU/Linux.
