Note: Before using the automated tools provided in this article, please ensure Python 3 is installed on your computer. Additionally, before using the LaunchBar version actions, please change the dictionary paths in default.py and remove.py to your actual paths. For the Keyboard Maestro version, modify the paths in the Macro.

My reasons for using Rime have already been written in “Why I still insist on using Rime input method in 2022” and “Why I still insist on using Rime input method in 2022”. If you are really interested, you can read the previous article.
