Rime (flypy) customisation
Personal Rime setup for the flypy (小鹤音形) schema, shared by fcitx5-rime (Linux) and Squirrel (macOS) so both behave the same.
Files
flypy.custom.yaml: the preferences, layered by Rime on top of the shared rime-data.flypy_user.txt: the user dictionary (custom phrases, symbols, missing characters).default.nix: per-platform wiring (see that file for the details).
The schema data comes from the rime-data-flypy package in nur-ryan4yin and stays untouched, so
updates survive. Personal preferences and the dictionary live here. On macOS the shared data
includes an empty flypy_user.txt, so the user files set home.fileOverlapResolution = "override"
to win over it.
Preferences
- Right Shift switches CN/EN. Left Shift stays a plain modifier; Ctrl+Space also switches (fcitx5 on Linux, the system input-source shortcut on macOS).
- Shift+Space does not toggle full/half width.
[ ] { }produce corner brackets「」『』.
These sit in a schema-level patch rather than default.custom.yaml so they also override the
default preset and flypy's own bindings, and to avoid colliding with the default.custom.yaml
that ships in Squirrel's user directory.
Hotkeys
The flypy schema brings its own bindings. Two worth remembering:
- Ctrl+J toggles simplified/traditional Chinese (简繁).
- Ctrl+. toggles Chinese/ASCII punctuation (中英标点).
Applying changes
flypy.custom.yaml is a store symlink with an epoch mtime, so Rime does not notice when it changes.
Remove build/ and reload the Rime addon:
# Linux: reload the Rime addon (`fcitx5-remote -r` only reloads fcitx5's own config)
rm -rf ~/.local/share/fcitx5/rime/build
busctl --user call org.fcitx.Fcitx5 /controller org.fcitx.Fcitx.Controller1 ReloadAddonConfig s rime
# macOS: remove build/, then restart Squirrel
rm -rf ~/Library/Rime/build
