ContingameIME-Neo (Maintenance Fork of XPlus-ContingameIME)
by sdy623
ContingameIME-Neo is a maintenance fork of XPlus-ContingameIME that lets players type with an input method editor while Minecraft runs in full-screen.
What it does
Players who write in languages that need an input method can switch IME input on from inside the game. A single press of the hotkey moves between a temporary input state and a closed state, while a double press opens the input method and keeps it open. Mouse movement also returns the temporary state to closed, so typing stops when the player goes back to playing. The mod detects the active IME instead of checking the client locale by brute force, and it was tested with the Microsoft Pinyin and Japanese IMEs, with other IME implementations also reported as working.
The fork continues the XPlus-ContingameIME project and further develops it with reference to IngameIME. It adds a candidate list with a clear selection highlight, whose color can be set in the config, and fixes a bug where the candidate window reappeared after toggling the on-screen keyboard. Caret tracking is corrected when Caxton Modern UI is installed. The mod is a client mod, so servers do not need it. Its required dependencies are Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge, and it is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.
Key features
Hotkey input switching
One press of the hotkey toggles between a temporary input state and a closed state, and a double press opens IME mode.
Active IME detection
The active input method is detected directly rather than inferred from the client locale.
Candidate list highlight
The candidate list marks the selected entry with a clear highlight whose color is customizable in the config.
Caret tracking fix
The caret position is tracked correctly when Caxton Modern UI is installed, so the candidate window stays where expected.
Full-screen input
Input methods can be used while Minecraft runs in full-screen, with several fixes carried over from the original project.
