FR: joker or pinyin key

[pyluyten]

Use case : user does not find the wubi code for a 汉字, but he wants to learn it. Or the user does no want to install/switch to another IME just for one car.

Solution 1 : mixed pinyin / wubi input

• If he knows pinyin, he can type pinyin.

  Since many users do not want pinyin codes to be active, either pinyin code is an option or pinyin code is triggered using some key like "z" or a different button

  I bet in both cases this needs to have one huge table with pinyin->car the table does not need to implement multi car since this is just to learn

  Other Android IME do this.

Solution 2 / joker key

in some wubi 输入法, "z" is a joker key, so if you know 2nd 3rd component or 1st 3rd it is still possible to input z for the unknown part.

Of course Solution 1 and Solution 2 might be seen as different features. But i put these in the same feature request because both allow to stick to this - excellent - input method and not use anything else. Feel free to ask clarification or ask me to create issues differently if this is easier.

z is a joker key in this input method. You can try it. But the candidate list is too short and there is no way to turn page. If I want "测试"(imya) and type "imza", "测试" won't appear in the candidate list. Maybe the candidate list should be redesigned.

The solution 1 is also reasonable. It also requires a pageable candidate list. Maybe I will have some time to implement this.
