Can`t not write non-ascii characters while XVim is enable in Xcode4.6

[spacewander]

When I try to write comments in Chinese, I found that the Chinese input method is unable to get the focus. So it is seem to be impossible to write Chinese characters. After trying different input methods, I discovered it is the problem of XVim. Because since I have checkd the XVim to disable, and reopened the text field, I could write Chinese again. But after I enabled XVim, I could not write Chinese again. So I supposed the XVim will cause input method lose its focus. And I checked it in writing other non-ascii characters(of course with special input methods), this problem is also existed. The problem is easy to fixed —— check the XVim to unable when you need to use input method. I hope this problem to be stated in the README or somewhere else.

Can you check if that happens with XCode5? because it's supposed to work and if it doesn't with XCode 5 either:

• which Chinese IM are you using;
• and how does this one works, if you don't mind explaining an example, taking a video, or pointing to an how-to)

So that I can try to repro here.

Well, I just have xcode4.6...And I have tried almost all the Chinese IM I had, including the native Chinese IM in Mac. Actually no Chinese IM can work(just as what I have said above)...-_-, the only effective way is to disable the XVim when you are preparing to input Chinese.

okay that's probably an XCode 4.6 issue then, you should try 5.0

Hmm just as a confirmation, what is the codepoint for the unicode character you're trying to type, is it simplified chinese or not? because I think XVim supports chinese IM but not properly when the codepoint is above 0uFFFF
