- 快捷键页「翻页方式」新增「左 / 右(横排时移动候选项)」,与「上 / 下」各自独立,默认关闭, 只在候选窗为横排时生效。配置项 general.candidate_horizontal_arrow_navigation 已写入出厂模板。 - 光标在拼音串尾时右键移动高亮(到页末翻页),左键往回移高亮,高亮回到第一个候选后再按才移动光标; 光标在串中间时右键先把光标移回串尾,再按才移动高亮。Ctrl+左/右与 UILess 宿主不变。 - 新增 worker 消息 HorizontalArrowSelectionChanged(39)和按键标记 FanyImePipeFlags::HorizontalArrowSelection: 开关生效时 TSF 把候选态下的左右键交给 Server 决定,移光标时 Server 用 CompositionRestored 回光标, 移高亮时回 MoveSelection*,TSF 不再自己预测光标。旧 DLL 忽略新消息,保持原行为。 Closes #779 Closes #895
Input engine (engine/)
The C++ conversion engine behind Metasequoia IME for Windows: input sessions, candidate lookup, helpcodes, the shared contracts and the voice module.
This directory used to be a submodule of metasequoiaime/MSIME-Engine. It is now a component of this repository, a sibling of server/, ui/, windows/ and installer/. Its upstream commit, and exactly what the Windows specialization removed, are recorded in UPSTREAM.md. Treat it as first-party code: reviewed, formatted and tested like anything else here, no longer merged from upstream.
| Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
core/, quanpin/, shuangpin/, english/, japanese/ |
Input sessions and candidate lookup |
contracts/ |
The authoritative IPC wire format, dictionary format, punctuation policy and settings-window message schema |
helpcode/ |
Helpcode (形码) tables and generators |
local_modes/, providers/, user_dictionary/ |
Local modes, online candidate sources, the user dictionary |
voice/ |
Recording, WAV encoding, recognition and text cleanup; builds independently |
googlepinyinime-rev/, ngram/kenlm/, utfcpp/, voice/third_party/ |
Vendored third-party code, kept in its upstream formatting and licence |
Integration is through <metasequoia/session.h>. See runtime architecture.
Build
The product build does not build this directory on its own: server/CMakeLists.txt pulls it in with add_subdirectory, so CI compiles and exercises the engine through the server and the TSF frontend. After changing something here, run the server's build and tests.
Building it standalone still works and is much faster while working on the engine. Dependencies are CMake 3.25+, a C++17 compiler, Boost, fmt, spdlog and SQLite3.
vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows-static
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$env:VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static
cmake --build build --config Release --parallel
ctest --test-dir build -C Release --output-on-failure --timeout 20
ctest runs every engine target registered in the root CMakeLists.txt: the segmentation, IPC and punctuation contracts, the platform API, data paths, runtime isolation, dictionary state and the per-mode session tests. tests/ additionally holds a separate Windows-only project that is not part of that build — add new tests to the registered targets so they actually run.
Formatting is driven from the repository root by scripts/format.sh, using the .clang-format in this directory (voice/ has its own with a wider column limit). The vendored third-party trees and the generated headers are excluded.
Contract rules
The IPC wire format, opcodes, voice framing and settings-window message definitions live in contracts/ and are the single source of truth. Consumers include the same headers; do not restate them on either side. Dictionary naming is defined by contracts/dictionary/format.json, shared with the repository root's scripts/dictionary_product.py.
Data and licensing
The dictionaries are neither stored nor built here. They arrive as a release pinned by tag and digest in product-lock.json and are downloaded at build time; the pipeline that produced them left with the specialization. Per-source licensing is tracked in NOTICE.md — read it before redistributing the built databases.
Recognition goes through a cloud provider; local Whisper inference was removed. The only committed model is voice/assets/models/silero_vad.onnx, loaded solely by the standalone Windows host that is off by default.
Licence
GPL-3.0. Vendored googlepinyinime-rev, ngram/kenlm (LGPL-2.1-or-later), utfcpp and voice/third_party/miniaudio keep their upstream licences.
