Package: sentimental-skk
What is this?This program provides Simple Kana Kanji conversion (SKK) input method service to your terminal.
It depends on “Canossa”(https://github.com/saitoha/canossa), which is an off-screen terminal emulation service,
“Canossa” makes application enable to restore specified screen region on demand!!
So this SKK service can provide cool popup feature.SKK ShellYou can enter SKK-shell mode by “C-j / $”.When you launch console applications in SKK-shell, they run in floating windows.
Each programs managed by “Canossa” works asyncronously in every windows.
You can resize and move each windows with mouse operations.
“Canossa” includes terminal multiplexer / task switching engine.Consult WikipediaYou can consult Wikipedia by pressing C-w.SettingsYou can enter configuration mode by “C-j / @”.RequirementsPython 2.5/2.6/2.7 unix/linux/cygwin versionInstallvia github$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/saitoha/sentimental-skk.git sentimental-skk

creates some PTYs. It hooks I/O stream between terminal and applications
running on it.The output stream which is recognized as STDOUT handle for applications,
is duplicated and processed with the terminal emulation engine called as
“Canossa”. Canossa has a virtual terminal screen buffer which consists with a
couple of character cell objects, and behave as another terminal emulator.+---------------------------------------------+
