Thanks for the advice! I have not tried other input methods in Emacs yet and always took it as sort of a challenge to having to know the actual character, to be able to write Chinese in Emacs :D On one hand it puts the last used characters to the front, but on the other hand it does not do much more than that. Its simplicity is sometimes a help, but also often not very helpful. I will give your suggestions a try later. 谢谢 and 祝好， Zelphir -- repositories: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl
