Karabiner-elements: How can I set Chinese input?

[YOnoda]

I found someone already released a file to switch Japanese and English using command key, and I want to change Japanese to Chinese (Simplified pinyin). But then after I checked the file, I wonder how I can search for key_code parameter for Chinese equivalent. There are two key_code on the file (japanese_eisuu and japanese_kana) but what is the Chinese key_code?

And how can I search for other languages such as Korean and Russian? Thanks

I forgot to add the file - https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/#international the first item on For Japanese.

You are probably looking for this.

japanese_eisuu and japanese_kana are the two special keys on Japanese keyboards. For other language you can select input source directly using input_source_id.

In the Karabiner-EventViewer app (which is installed automatically when you install Karabiner-Elements), you can find you current input_source_id under the "Variables" tab.

Thanks for letting me know it. I tried it, but only found that while the keyboard icon on the top-right menubar changes to Chinese, the actual input (characters I type in) is still English...

I feel I had found a similar issue on Korean, and it also happened on the old Karabiner IIRC.
