This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • general.el

    More convenient key definitions in emacs

  • (general is a keybinding helper package, not strictly necessary but way simpler than the default)

  • ddskk

    Daredevil SKK (Simple Kana to Kanji conversion program)

  • IMO using the OS input method inside Emacs is a hard way. Quite a few Japanese users of Emacs use ddskk. I am not really a fan of it, but it has some nice features that makes the integration seamless. A recommended setup is to use C-j to turn on Japanese and q to type alphabets.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • reverse-im.el

  • not sure about Japanese, but for other non-Latin layouts there's reverse-im to workaround this

  • fcitx.el

    Better fcitx integration for Emacs.

  • https://github.com/cute-jumper/fcitx.el (only if using fcitx)

  • emacs-smart-input-source

    Less manual switch for native or OS input source (input method).

  • mozc

    Mozc - a Japanese Input Method Editor designed for multi-platform

  • It's worth noting mozc (the most popular open source japanese input method) has its own emacs input method: mozc.el.

  • homebrew-emacsmacport

    Emacs mac port formulae for the Homebrew package manager

  • You can install emacs-mac by homebrew (see https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport). $ brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport $ brew install emacs-mac This emacs contains mac-win.el. Mac Auto ASCII mode in the mac-win.el automatically selects the most-recently-used ASCII-capable keyboard input source on some occasions: after prefix key (bound in the global keymap) press such as C-x and M-g, and at the start of minibuffer input. This function is very useful. I guess you can read Japanese, please visit Japanese setup page of my website (https://taipapamotohus.com/post/japanese\_setup/).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
