- Custom user phrases: Use Shift and left/right arrow keys to select a range and then press enter key to add a new phrase.You can also edit/delete/copy/paste the phrases in the options page.
- Emoji: Some Bopomofo syllables are associates with Emojis. For example, you can get 🔥 when typing ㄏㄨㄛˇ.

C.H. Chen (ID: 0000004693d37930) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/20/2023 沒開玩笑，可以說是目前Chrome OS Flex上最棒的注音輸入法。

黑兄 (ID: 000000e72fa95c88) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/12/2023 五星啦！終於有好用的輸入法了

UHPS TW (ID: 0000004f151af08e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/27/2022 終於找到倚天26鍵支援的chormeos輸入法

吳明頤 (ID: 000000c5e865436f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/03/2022 自從開始使用 Chromebook，就愛上了 Chromebook。唯一不滿意的地方就是 ChromeOS 的注音輸入法僅支援「倚天」鍵盤，而沒支援「倚天26」鍵盤。今天無意間發現「小麥注音」這個 extension，看到支援「倚天26」，立刻安裝來試用。本以為只能在 Chrome 瀏覽器內使用，但後來發現也可將「小麥注音」設定為 ChromeOS 的中文輸入法，變成「全域設定」，真的是太太太....太高興了！！！感謝作者開發這麼好用的 extension, 讓我的 Chromebook 完全契合我的使用習慣了！

Mark Sun (ID: 0000003914838fd5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/26/2022 太棒了！期待 Openvanilla 也能有移植应用啊，目前在用的 JsCIN 实在是太老旧了。香草、香草快快来！
