OpenVanilla

<p>OpenVanilla (OV) is an <a href="/facts/Open-source/7X9rCdz4">open-source</a> text-entry (<a href="/facts/Input_method_editor/HoB832tg">input method</a>) and processing <a href="/facts/Software_architecture/1Hokp0Ed">architecture</a> designed to enhance the text-entry experience across different operating systems. Initially developed to address the need for alternative input methods on <a href="/facts/Apple_Computer/oTJYta3k">Apple</a> systems and cater to Windows users transitioning to <a href="/facts/MacOS/Y93vVpTm">macOS</a>, OV has since expanded its compatibility to include <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> and <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a>/<a href="/facts/FreeBSD/RKsFTm7F">FreeBSD</a> environments through <a href="/facts/Smart_Common_Input_Method/rTw1rape">SCIM</a> integration.
</p><p>OV provides a collection of input methods and text processing filters, acting as a bridge between input methods and the operating system. It supports Mac OS X versions from 10.3 (Panther) to 10.4 (Tiger), as well as an experimental <a href="/facts/Win32/RRw4RtTu">Win32</a> <a href="/facts/Unicode/DDu3MfPV">Unicode</a> version for Windows users. Its design philosophy emphasizes simplicity and ease of customization, enabling users to develop their own input methods with minimal programming expertise in C++.
