70930df stopped eating the bare-Shift release so JetBrains double-Shift
keeps working, and moved the toggle into OnTestKeyUp because TSF does not
call OnKeyUp after a FALSE test result. Word never completes a bare-Shift
release through ITfKeyEventSink at all, so neither callback runs and the
CN/EN toggle was lost there.
The mintty workaround already solves exactly this shape: a thread-local
WH_KEYBOARD hook watches the real bare-Shift press/release and feeds it
back into the deferred hotkey path, with _MarkBareShiftHandled() latching
presses the key-event sink already toggled so hosts that do deliver the
release never toggle twice. Install that hook for every host instead of
only mintty.exe, and rename its members off the mintty-specific naming.
Also log the three bare-Shift release paths under [issue47] -- key-up was
previously uninstrumented, which is why the Word diagnostic log could not
distinguish "release never arrived" from "toggle queued but dropped".Metasequoia IME for Windows
中文 README · Website · Docs · Privacy
A free and open-source Chinese and Japanese input method for Windows 10 and 11, built on TSF with no legacy IMM32 path.
This repository is the Windows product: the TSF text service DLL, the resident server, a self-written native GUI framework, the HTML surfaces and the installer. The conversion engine is shared with the macOS, iOS and Linux frontends and lives in MSIME-Engine.
This is a public beta. Expect rough edges and read the release notes before upgrading.
Install
Download the installer from Releases or the download page, run it, then switch with Win + Space.
Current builds are not code signed. SmartScreen will block them and uiAccess is unavailable, which means the candidate window cannot float above elevated applications. Verify the download with the SHA256 published on the download page.
You need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64). The server and settings app are 64-bit; the x86 redistributable is a separate package and does not substitute for it. If you cannot switch to the IME, the server keeps exiting, or the settings window closes immediately, install that first.
What it does
- Chinese input: full pinyin, double pinyin (Xiaohe / Ziranma / Shoudao / Microsoft), Wubi 86
- Japanese input: romaji, with hiragana, katakana and dictionary candidates; also available as a temporary mode from Chinese
- Helpcode (形码) filtering on pinyin schemes: five tables, single- and double-code
- Optional cloud candidates, and AI suggestions via DeepSeek / OpenAI / SiliconFlow / Groq
- English-Chinese glosses in the vertical candidate window
- Mixed Chinese-English input, emoji and kaomoji, a dedicated English candidate mode
- Voice input with streaming recognition and optional cleanup
- Handwriting, on-screen keyboard, floating toolbar, clipboard history
- User dictionary management, candidate frequency tuning, skins with light and dark variants
Privacy
An input method sees every keystroke, so the boundaries are stated explicitly in PRIVACY.md: which features reach the network, what each one sends, what the defaults are, and how to turn each off.
Two things worth knowing up front. Cloud candidates are on by default — the composition spelling goes to Google's input-tools service, and it is the only network feature that works without you supplying a credential. API tokens are stored in plain text in config.toml, unlike macOS and Linux which use the Keychain and Secret Service.
There is no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting of any kind.
Building and contributing
CONTRIBUTING.md has the environment, the build order and what to run before opening a pull request. Contributions do not have to be code — dictionary entries, documentation, icons and compatibility testing all count, and the recruiting page lists them by area.
Note that most issues, documentation and code comments are in Chinese. English pull requests and issues are welcome.
