Special Function Keys

Oh-my-rime uses Lua scripts to generate the following content from input codes. Type each code in Chinese input mode, preserving its letter case, then choose a result from the candidates:

• Time/Week/Date/Solar Terms printing
• Capitalized Chinese currency printing
• Lunar date printing/conversion
• Simple calculator

Time/Week/Date/Solar Terms ^2025.11

Before version 7ae364ea06, multiple Lua scripts were used to implement time, week, and date printing.

However, after this version, AMZ contributed the shijian.lua script to implement the printing of time and other information.

You can use the following keywords to activate the corresponding functions:

• Time: osj
• Date: orq
• Lunar calendar: onl
• Week: oxq
• Week of the year: oww
• Solar terms: ojq
• Date + Time: odt
• Timestamp: ott
• Uppercase N date: N20250315 or N0312 without year
• Festivals: ojr
• Greeting template: oday

If you want to set the order of each date in orq, you can override the date_formats configuration item:

Capitalized Chinese Currency Printing

Type uppercase R followed by an amount, for example R123.45, to generate Chinese currency in words. Number-key behavior also depends on the numeric keypad processor configuration.

Afterward, to select a candidate, you can use the arrow keys for selection and the spacebar to select; you can also use Ctrl + number key to select.

Lunar Date Printing/Conversion

Type onl to output today's lunar date. Older instructions and the historical screenshot below use lunar; follow the shijian.lua instructions above for the current default codes.

If you want to query the lunar date of a certain day, you can use the leading letter N. Then enter the query date using the numeric keys.

Simple Calculator

Users have been eagerly requesting this feature, so starting from version fca55ddff0, the simple calculator function has been officially added.

In fact, I had already submitted a pull request for this feature to the upstream code baopaau/rime-lua-collection #3 at the beginning of 2024, but for some reasons, it has not been adapted to the Mintimate input method until now.

In Chinese input mode, type = followed by an expression, such as =1+2, to use the calculator:

Of course, = can be changed to other letters, and you can override the recognizer/patterns/expression configuration item.

If you don't want to use the calculator, you can disable it through custom configuration. For example, using the double_pinyin_flypy.custom.yaml file, add the following content:

patch:
  # Close the simple calculator
  "recognizer/patterns/expression": ""
