The problem the author states in Vim is overstated. All you need is to write two functions that switch the input method to English when entering normal mode and back to your original input method when entering insert/replace mode. It's only 24 lines of vimscript including whitespaces and comments.
Out of all the TUI programs out there, Vim with it's modal design is probably the one program least affected by a conflation between keypresses and text input.
- big_chungus 7y agoThis is not really cross-platform. This is also not cross-application, so it's often necessary to do os-level, hence prior problems. At least for Spanish there are a limited number of non-ascii chars, so I jus bind directly to a modifier.
