alanmd Posted July 28, 2011 at 04:35 AM Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 at 04:35 AM To disable the Shift+Space shortcut that switches to the annoying full-width characters, you have to change the shortcut for "Chinese (Simplified) IME - Shape Toggle" that is set up in Windows. You cannot fix this in the Google Pinyin options. I changed mine a harder to accidently press combination, as I really couldn't think of any reason why I would ever want to type full-width characters. Maybe this is some legacy thing to input English into Chinese applications that could only handle wide characters. Depending on your version of Windows, this option is located somewhere like Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->Details->Key Settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DespikableMi Posted August 3, 2011 at 06:33 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 at 06:33 PM The latest pinyin IME are almost as fast as Wubi and anyone who knows Hanyu Pinyin and speaks Putonghua can use it efficiently. Sogou Pinyin used to be my first choice of pinyin IME but personally I think it's becoming bloated with unnecessary features and “异形词”. I recommend giving Google Pinyin or Baidu Pinyin, but QQ pinyin released a "clean" version recently so you might wanna check that out also.

imron Posted August 3, 2011 at 10:56 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 at 10:56 PM The latest pinyin IME are almost as fast as Wubi Personally I've found it's not the extra typing, but the extra proofreading that really drags down the speed of pinyin IMEs, because even when the sentence prediction is 100% correct, you still need to reread it just to make sure (well, at least you do if you care about things like that). So, even though it feels like you are 'typing' quickly, if you add in time required to proofread things typed (that you don't really need to do with Wubi), then I've found Wubi comes out in front - and I still consider myself a slow Wubi typist.
