Typing Stroke Mode Text

For an example of using Stroke input conversion mode do the following steps:

1. Turn on input conversion (press Control-spacebar) and then press Control-B or F4 to turn on Stroke input mode.

   The status area shows Stroke mode is on:

   

2. Type the lowercase letter g.

   The lookup choice area displays the first page of many character choices with a head stroke that maps to g.

   

3. Type the lowercase letter y.

   The lookup choice area displays the first page of character choices with a head stroke that maps to g and a tail stroke that maps to y.

   

4. Finish the input process using either the following single step a, or by doing steps b and c.

   1. Type 8 to select the corresponding character in the lookup choice area on the screen.

      The character replaces the letters gy in the preedit area:

      

   2. Alternatively, type a suitable Pinyin input, for example lowercase l.

      The lookup choice area displays the two characters containing those head and tail elements with the just-chosen Pinyin:

      

   3. Complete the character selection by typing either lowercase a for the second Pinyin or 1 to select the displayed character choice.

      Both actions would have the following result, the same as the preceding alternative step a.
