## Fixes Closes #28174 Closes #30393 Closes #36610 Closes #38616 Updates #31819 Updates #21136 ## Context There was an issue where CJK input could not be entered correctly when certain keys used during IME composition conflicted with custom keybindings while the CJK IME was enabled. (In particular, in Vim mode, the `jj` keybinding in INSERT MODE could not be entered correctly.) This issue had already been fixed on Windows, but not on macOS (and judging from the code, it is likely also present on Linux, although this has not been verified). In this change, we aligned the behavior with Windows. Currently, on Windows, when the CJK ( or other ) IME is enabled, IME input is prioritized. Following this behavior, we updated macOS to also prioritize IME input. | Input source | Source type | ASCII-capable | Result | Behavior | |---|---|---|---|---| | Japanese Hiragana | `KeyboardInputMode` | `false` | `true` | IME handles key first | | Japanese Romaji | `KeyboardInputMode` | `true` | `false` | Keybinding matching first | | Korean | `KeyboardInputMode` | `false` | `true` | IME handles key first | | Chinese Pinyin | `KeyboardInputMode` | `false` | `true` | IME handles key first | | Armenian | `KeyboardLayout` | `false` | `false` | Keybinding matching first | | Ukrainian | `KeyboardLayout` | `false` | `false` | Keybinding matching first | | English (ABC) | `KeyboardLayout` | `true` | `false` | Keybinding matching first | (Since similar approaches are used in tools like Vim and Neovim, we consider this policy to be appropriate.) ## Videos ### before fix https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9b204220-d0de-4819-8dc4-00ba85169ef6 ### after fix https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/045cc808-8d29-42d2-9de5-f903fcb602db ## How to Review This change modifies the gpui layer rather than Zed itself, so please verify the behavior at the gpui level, not just within Zed. ## Self-Review Checklist <!-- Check before requesting review: --> - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable Release Notes: - Fixed IME composition on macOS in Vim insert mode with multi-stroke keybindings like `jj`
