So, I understand the selection of input methods and I can enter chinese and english text into TextEdit. However, as I am still learning Chinese and I like to write out the pinyin along with some of the characters. I cannot figure out how to do this...
I can see the four characters as accent characters in the roman character pallete, however it doesn't seem reasonable to go to the pallette and search for characters every time I want to type a vowel. I can get to second and fourth tone as command-e and command-` accent. However I can find no way in either the chinese or English input methods to get to the other two from the keyboard.
Perhaps I'm missing something in the input method setup because I can't read all of it...
While I'm asking - is there any way to get Chinese to display with pinyin automatically? That would be great.
Thanks,
