Intro

Quick Phrase provides a mode triggered by hot key. It can be used as a temporary mode for type English (with spell hint provided by the fcitx-spell module), as well as a Table input method which reads from a configuration file.

Configuration

Trigger Key

In some Chinese input method, it's semicolon due to historical reason, if you want to use it every where, you'd better change configuration, the hotkey in configuration is global to any input method. But hotkey world is being occupied by so many application so fcitx doesn't introduce new key binding by default carelessly, but one of candidate can be Super+Grave (`).

Path

The file is a UTF-8 text file under ~/.config/fcitx/data/QuickPhrase.mb, if there is no such file or parent directory, create a new one (and necessary parent directory) yourself.

Format
