Adds personal AI assistant presets and a configurable keyboard shortcut bar. Input schemes and official plugins now use clearer card views. The orthogonal keyboard layout works independently of the chord plugin; choose isaac2026 for Natural Code chord input. Refines Space-key candidate selection and cursor gestures. Slide two fingers to open or close Buffer, and pinch on Space to bring the current field into Buffer. Hold Send for one second to insert all remaining content; Buffer closes after its last block is sent. Preserves imported schemes, learned words and existing settings.

Fixes OSStatus error -34018 when saving AI configurations and restores shared access to securely stored API keys. Improves candidate scrolling, tap feedback and expanded rows. Refines number and symbol keys and adds Flat and Legacy key styles. The orthogonal grid can now be selected independently of the input scheme: Pinyin and Ziranma support chords, while other schemes use tap typing. Existing chord selections migrate to the matching scheme and layout.

Refines the keyboard layout and key appearance, with a consistent bottom row and a wider space bar. On ordinary layouts, Shift now supports one-letter capitals, double-tap Caps Lock and press-and-hold locking. Adds per-scheme input preferences, optional swipe-up numbers and punctuation, separate portrait and landscape keyboard heights, and a numeric keypad. Wubi four-code unique commit and fifth-code push can be configured independently. Preserves existing schemes and personal settings.

Supports larger Rime scheme packages, including ZIP files up to 2 GiB. Imports now read large archives in chunks and check available storage before installation. Preserves your current input settings and learned words.

RIMES / Lingxi IME is now XSIME. This update unifies the app name, keyboard name, setup guidance and help text under the new brand. This is an update to the same app: your installed input schemes, learned words, settings and API credentials are retained. No uninstall or new app account is needed. Offline typing and Buffer remain free. Optional external AI still uses your own provider and API key; no AI subscription is included.

Adds Lingxi Wubi with direct Wubi and Pinyin input. Wubi 86 now supports z-prefixed Pinyin lookup with smaller Wubi code hints beside candidates. Existing schemes and learned words are preserved. Both Wubi schemes automatically commit a unique four-key Wubi match while keeping ambiguous codes and Pinyin lookups available for selection.

Improves typing responsiveness and reduces unnecessary resource use after closing Buffer or switching apps. Import standard Rime scheme ZIPs and coded UTF-8 text dictionaries from Settings. Review, deploy, and enable schemes without repacking them for each platform. This update improves upstream package compatibility, recovery after failed imports, package removal, and paired full-keyboard and nine-key schemes.

• Compatible imported full-Pinyin schemes, including the updated Wanxiang package, can switch between 26-key and native nine-key layouts. Candidate selection, spelling selection and Buffer continue to use the imported scheme. • Improved keyboard startup and height recovery when the host temporarily provides extra space. • Keyboard layout menus now show the layout actually in use. Existing chord mappings and learned data are retained.

• Improved Chinese punctuation on the number and symbol pages. Full-Pinyin nine-key input now offers common punctuation directly in the candidate row. • Improved Rime scheme import for packages with dictionaries and read-only phrase tables in subfolders. • AI sending confirmation now appears inside the keyboard. Updated guidance explains Apple on-device translation and optional AI services. • Improved input-engine resource cleanup when closing the keyboard.

Lingxi IME 1.1.0 (RIMES) expands your keyboard and writing workflow: • More keyboard layouts, custom key mapping and Rime scheme import controls. • Expanded candidates with scrolling and deliberate hold-and-drag selection. • Buffer text import, explicit paste, and flexible block-by-block insertion. • Official Buffer tool management, keyboard appearance and status-light pets. • Local typing statistics cards and updated setup guidance. • Keyboard interaction and layout refinements. Ordinary typing and Buffer remain usable offline. Apple on-device translation and user-configured external AI remain optional; external AI requires separate recipient consent and may incur provider charges.
