Those conffiles below will be created automatically by hime-setup, except hime-bell-volume and hime-
sound-play-overlap.
If you want to write conffiles by yourself, please make sure you have the config directory:
mkdir -p $HOME/.config/hime/config
After that, you may try:
echo zo > $HOME/.config/hime/config/phonetic-keyboard
Thus you make a phonetic-keyboard file with its content zo, which means you select the standard style
with 1234 selection method.
All available conffiles are listed, and default options are showed bold.
