Tmux-rime
This week I divided all commands into two main categories: One is to send keys literally, that is, the key command, and the other is to perform special IME actions, e.g., delete-char, commit-raw. And all keymappings of keys and commands are defined with tmux's bind-key command.
I also drew the structure diagram of tmux-rime and made a slide.

Todos
I believed I have finished the basic skeleton of the tmux-rime project, here are some todos I might implement someday.
IME functions
- Candidate selection
- Schema selection
Customization
- Custom IME status bar
- Custom plugin options
Use tmux user options (prefixed with @) to define variables
- Custom key mappings
- Define what keys need to be bound in tmux
Misc
- Write tests
- Write documentation
- Set up plugin installation process
