#!/bin/sh

# This script aims to address the problem of input lag that can occur when using the Chinese input method on macOS. 
# It provides a simple and effective solution by terminating the SCIM process, which is often the cause of the lag.

# To use the script, follow these steps:

# 1. Open the Terminal application (located in "Applications/Utilities/Terminal").
# 2. Copy and paste the script into the Terminal window.
# 3. Press Enter to execute the script.

# Find the process ID of the process named SCIM
pid=$(pgrep SCIM)

if [ -z "$pid" ]; then
  echo "Process named SCIM not found"
else
  # Terminate the process
  kill -9 "$pid"

  # Check if the process was successfully terminated
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Successfully terminated the SCIM process"
  else
    echo "Failed to terminate the SCIM process"
  fi
fi

echo "Completed"
