Congratulations on developing this tool, it's really useful. If I can suggest one change, it would be to not interfere when using the Chinese input on Windows. For example, if I want to write 好 on the native pinyin to Chinese input Windows has, I need to type hao + 1 (meaning it's the first option of all the characters). If QuickPinyin is activated, it will input the first tone and for some reason become hoā. I think you should have no problem reproducing this. Normally simply turning QuickPinyin off with the "s d f" combination would be enough, but I need to constantly change between typing in mandarin and pinyin with tone marks for the purpose of my studies. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, if yes, I apologize, but is there a way to have QuickPinyin auto-disable in the Pinyin to Chinese input method? Hi and thanks for your kind words! I think this is the same problem reported previously, please downlaod the fix from this post: https://www.chinese-forums.com/forums/topic/37827-quickpinyin-type-pinyin-with-tone-marks-portable/page/9/?tab=comments#comment-448489 I intend to release an update at some point but unfortunately ATM I am up to my neck in work trying to start a business and don't have the time, though do let me know if the fix solves your problem. I will get around to it, eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baoyu Posted December 14, 2020 at 02:07 AM Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 at 02:07 AM Hi, Manuel! This is baoyu. I am a designer. Suprised to know that you're also using autohotkey! I've been making a AHK script, not that good at coding though. In a lot of applications like photoshop, when MS Pinyin IME enbled, if I press a photoshop single key shortcut (e.g. the shortcut for move tool is "V" ), the IME will block the shortcut and show me a bar with a green cursor like this: Then I have to hit ESC key to cancle that bar and swtich to English IME, then using whatever shortcut I want. I've doing some research, using the WindowSpy.ahk finding that the inputbox inside the bar has its title called "CiceroUIWndFrame" and window class called "ahk_class CiceroUIWndFrame". In a lot of software, I encountered this issue. In some software, the bar just contains a inputbox without the green cursor. I also finding that inputbox doesn't have window title but has window class called "ahk_class MSCTFIME Composition". It's the phrase "MSCTFIME Composition" leads me to here. Here's my script: Quote #UseHook, On #KeyHistory #If WinExist("CiceroUIWndFrame") or WinExist("ahk_class MSCTFIME Composition") ;$Tab:: { LastKEY :=A_PriorKey IME_SET(0) Sleep 50 ;MsgBox 111 ControlSend ,,{%LastKEY%} return } #If ;SetSts 1 for ON and 0 for OFF IME_SET(SetSts, WinTitle="A") { ControlGet,hwnd,HWND,,,%WinTitle% if (WinActive(WinTitle)) { ptrSize := !A_PtrSize ? 4 : A_PtrSize VarSetCapacity(stGTI, cbSize:=4+4+(PtrSize*6)+16, 0) NumPut(cbSize, stGTI, 0, "UInt") ; DWORD cbSize; hwnd := DllCall("GetGUIThreadInfo", Uint,0, Uint,&stGTI) ? NumGet(stGTI,8+PtrSize,"UInt") : hwnd } return DllCall("SendMessage" , UInt, DllCall("imm32\ImmGetDefaultIMEWnd", Uint,hwnd) , UInt, 0x0283 ;Message : WM_IME_CONTROL , Int, 0x006 ;wParam : IMC_SETOPENSTATUS , Int, SetSts) ;lParam : 0 or 1 } As you can see I tried to bind this function to a hotkey "Tab", it works like a charm. However, after I comment out that hotkey assignment, the script just failed. I'm using windows 10 Chinese, with only Chinese language enabled. Can you help me?

It seems this is related to the IME, not QuickPinyin. I don't have Photoshop but I have tested with MS Paint. Here is my test: Close QuickPinyin completely, so QuickPinyin is not running at all. Switch IME to Chinese and "中" mode (I use Windows 10's default Chinese IME). Focus the MS Paint window and then start typing. Result: I get the same candidates bar with the green arrow cursor, just as in your screenshot. Basically, I think it's normal. If you want to use keyboard shortcuts, you basically need to switch to English first. I use music production software that also uses simple shortcuts to switch tools (V, H, P, ...) and I have the same problem, I need to switch to English first. This is the biggest disadvantage of IMEs, and unfortunately the situation will not change until computers are capable of reading the user's mind!

baoyu Posted December 14, 2020 at 11:16 AM Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 at 11:16 AM Quote ,you basically need to switch to English first Yeah, of course. However, as a designer and shortcut heavy user, this interpolates my creativity and bothers a lot of designers a lot. I've never find a case when this bar and green cursor is useful. And If I cancel that comment sign of ";#Tab", my script did work. Except for that I have to press a key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Michael Kliffer Posted May 29, 2021 at 10:22 PM New Members Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 at 10:22 PM Hi Manuel, I just downloaded Quickpinyin, installed it but when I type a tone number, nothing appears. If I try the number again, just the number appears. I am using 64 bit version of Windows 10 pro 20H2 with the U.S. International Keyboard as default. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New Members REINSET Posted May 14, 2024 at 10:42 AM New Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2024 at 10:42 AM I couldn't say nothing more than a big THANKS!! I have an self-made MacOS in dual boot w/ Windows, and Apple ABC - Expanded layout is very superior for writing pinyin tones. I tried PinyinTones but is so much annoying typing compared w/ the Apple layout...now is totally fine. Really save me, you're amazing.
