JsCIN: JavaScript based Chinese Input Methods Extension

This is an Input Method Environment designed for Chromebooks. It supports loading customized tables which should be compatible with XCIN or GCIN table files (*.xcin and *.gtab).

- You can even use the official Boshiamy gtab file.

To install and activate the IME on Chromebooks:

- Install the extension
- Click the status in right-bottom corner (showing the system time) to popup the system config menu, select \"Keyboard\", then the gear icon in the right-top corner of the \"Input Methods\" menu to enter the \"Inputs\" setting page. (Alternatively, you can also get there by Settings, Device, Keyboards and Inputs, Input settings), and then click \"Add input methods\".
- Type to search for \"JSCIN Chinese Input Methods\", select and Add
- Switch your keyboard to \"[ZH] JsCIN Chinese Input Methods\" to start typing.
- You can use the extension options page to load your favorite input method table.

See https://github.com/google/jscin/blob/main/docs/USER_GUIDE.md if you need help.

What's new in v2.91:
- The engine is re-written to be Manifest V3 compatible. It is a stepping stone (migrating all data) before we can really move to Manifest V3.

DXN (ID: 00000036f952a5d5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/19/2020 Chromebook內建的大易輸入法似乎無法打全型標點符號。JsCIN雖然沒有內建大易輸入法,下載的連結也似乎沒法使用了。但只要在網路上找大易CIN表格再載入後,就可以正常使用了。(全型標點符號:ctrl+"標點")老人家了,不能再學新的輸入法了,十分感謝。(大易三十年多前曾紅過一小段時間)
