jamarju 417d32386d gpui_macos: Skip IME for Cmd+key events on non-QWERTY layouts (#51394)
Closes #51297

On non-QWERTY layouts, all Cmd+key events are routed through the macOS
IME because `key_char` is always `None` when Cmd is held. For certain
characters (dead keys like backtick, and non-dead keys like ç), the IME
calls `insertText:` instead of `doCommandBySelector:`, consuming the
event before it reaches GPUI's keybinding system or macOS system
shortcuts.

This adds `!platform` to the IME-path condition in `handle_key_event` so
Cmd+key events bypass the IME (except when composing). GPUI handles them
if a binding matches, otherwise `performKeyEquivalent:` returns `NO` and
macOS handles them.

**This won't fully fix Cmd+backtick window cycling by itself** because
Zed's key_equivalents system maps default keybindings onto the physical
backtick key on various layouts. For example, `cmd-'`
(ToggleSelectedDiffHunks) maps to the backtick key on Spanish, `cmd-=`
(IncreaseBufferFontSize) on Scandinavian layouts, `cmd-"`
(ExpandAllDiffHunks) on German/Portuguese/Swiss, and `cmd-}`
(ActivateNextItem) on Spanish-ISO. These Zed bindings shadow the
backtick key and consume the event before macOS can cycle windows. I'd
appreciate guidance on the preferred approach to resolve these
keybinding conflicts -- IMO, Zed's default shortcuts should not be
interfering with Cmd+backtick for any layout.

Release Notes:

- Fixed Cmd+key shortcuts being consumed by the IME on non-QWERTY
keyboard layouts, preventing Zed keybindings and macOS system shortcuts
from working with special characters.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
