## Kanji and kana using vim on openbsd Around one year ago I started learning Japanese. Until now I procrastinated writing kanji with vim. Finally the time has come to solve the issue. First you need to install tyru/eskk.vim plugin with your preferred vim plugin manager. With vim-plug you need to add the following code to your vimrc. ``` call plug#begin() Plug 'tyru/eskk.vim' call plug#end() ``` After install (:PlugInstall) you already have hiragana and katakana but kanji support is still missing. You can start using kana in insert mode after `` and switching between katakana and hiragana with ``. For kanji support you still need a dictionary. Fortunately *skk-jisyo-20201101* is available as a package. ``` pkg_add skk-jisyo-20201101 ``` There's only one last step to solve. Find out how to use hiragana to kanji translation with eskk. In hiragana mode type in `;いぬ`. The result should be: 犬 仮名 と 漢字 を 畫くこと が できます。
