OS X 10.7 Lion: Possible Fix for Missing Chinese YiTian IM

There have been several complaints in the Apple discussions about the omission in Lion of the YiTian keyboard layout in the Traditional Chinese Zhuyin IM. A recent post recommends Yahoo KeyKey as an alternative:

I don't know enough about this to evaluate it, and would welcome any comments by readers.

This IME may fix the issue as well. But it's stupid to add one more, the original one in Snow Leopard is quite good!

Thanks for the tip, Tom. YiTian layout is one of the fastest and easiest ways to type Chinese. I simply can't function without it. It's been three weeks since I got my new MacBook and I am glad I can finally type Chinese after downloading the alternative.

They should have it for iPhone as well. Do you know who I can reach in Apple to voice my opinion?
