RIME-Eason-Quick5

A RIME plum recipe and configuration for typing Quick5 (速成) efficiently.

Overview

This configuration enables continuous Quick5 typing (“速成連打”), allowing you to type words and phrases fluidly without selecting individual characters after each code. It supports both English (US) and German (DE) keyboard layouts and extends Quick5 typing to cover Japanese Kokuji, Korean Gukja, and Vietnamese Chữ Nôm characters.

• Extended Character Support Most Chinese characters are supported, as well as many Japanese Kokuji, Korean Gukja, and Vietnamese Chữ Nôm can be typed out using Quick5.

  

• Additional Scripts Japanese Kana, Korean Hangul, Bopomofo, and Greek letters can be typed using the symbol hotkey 符.

  

• Emoji Suggestions Single-letter Cangjie radical emojis work out of the box. To enable full keyword suggestions:
