Is this Emacs a sort of external program which not altering any original N900 system?
currently there is another hot topic on virtual chinese input eyboard, but it will alter some setting in N900 original virtual keyboard(mean you lost it and change it for chinese input), which I don't like
Yes, it's external enough to require you to have to cut and paste output from the application to SMS, emails etc. Simply put, you have to start emacs up, switch to Chinese mode, type, cut and paste into whatever program you need.
It's not really easy to use this way but it completely leaves the virtual keyboard alone (auto correct and capitalisation still work fine). Even the hardware keyboard mods do not effect the system stability in any way.
But really, having to start another program, write, cut paste is really mafan, especially if you write a lot in another language. Even I used it to write small snippets of text in Japanese only, daily, heavy use might have killed me lol.
But to Emacs' credit, it's not meant to be an interpreter app. Supposedly, you can call people, SMS and even surf the web with it, so you can't blame it for being slightly un-user friendly.
I was hoping that MSCIM would be stable already by now (allowing quick switching of input without disabling auto-correct and capitalisation), but it seems this isn't the case.
