A back-end for Vietnamese input engine written completely in Rust
Since typing Vietnamese on Linux is pretty painful at the momment, a better input engine is always needed. To accommodate the future engines that will be built in Rust, this back-end existed to transform key inputs into the Vietnamese string output.
There're 2 ways to use this back-end. Either you take care of your own engine & buffer management or you can use the engine in this back-end. Refer to simple example if you plan on building your own engine or refer to engine example if you wish to utilize the engine provided by this back-end.
The method that this engine use it backspace, which means that to modify a word, it send a bunch of backspaces before inserting the new content for the word. E.g.
viet5 -> viet -> vie -> việ -> việt
Currently, this project is still at its early stage of development. There might be some minor bugs but overall, it should be 95% functional.
