How to run

As a Linux Driver

See driver/

As a Cli Utility

Needs: ncurses & cmake

mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j$(nproc) cli/main

As a Website

Go to foxmoss.github.io/libt9/

Dependencies

None! The library requires nothing but a basic implementation of the C standard library. The CLI requires ncurses solely, but this is by no means needed to just compile the library.

Todo

Feel free to contribute!

  • Punctuation
  • IBus Driver
  • Support for non-words
