***************************************************************************************
Additional Notes for FydeRhythm Input Method on ChromeOS / ChromeOS Flex:
***************************************************************************************

Due to the deprecation of the chrome.input.ime API (https://chromeos.dev/en/posts/chrome-input-ime-deprecation), FydeRhythm input method may not function starting from ChromeOS r119.

Tests indicate that the current version (Q4 2024) of ChromeOS and ChromeOS Flex can still use the FydeRhythm input method, and the description of the chrome.input.ime API at https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/input/ime has not mentioned deprecation.

It is important to note that the FydeRhythm input method can only be used as a keyboard input tool in desktop mode on ChromeOS / ChromeOS Flex; it cannot invoke the on-screen soft keyboard input in tablet mode.
