The title is It is an Eperanto input method.

These days, I am interested in Esperanto. I know this may not really help to communicate with the world at this moment. However, it is really idealism with a great heart. I appreciate this idea and start my trip to lernu!.

Besides, I made an Esperanto keyboard for my favorite input method, HIME. Here is the PR, if you like to know how it works.

The basic idea follows the Android google keyboard. Because q, w, x, y are not used in Esperanto, we reuse this key and let a similar Esperanta alphabet nearby the English alphabet.
For example, the ĉ is taken the place x, because there is no x in Esperanto, and the key x is nearby c in QWERT layout. Futhermore, there are only three phrase with ĥ in Esperanto, we use ŭ for the key y.

In addition, I add a prefix method, if someone really forgets the Esperanto layout. You can key in ^ and g, and the input method will change the letter into ĝ. Because ^ is the special prefix key if you want to input pure ^ with this input method, you just key in it twice.

Here is the special mapping.

• q -> ŝ
• w -> ĝ
• x -> ĉ
• y -> ŭ
• ; -> ĵ
• ^h -> ĥ
• ^^ -> ^

This is an example of output for the input method.

I use the green star symbol for the input method icon showing in the system tray because is proposed in 1892 according to Wikipedia.
