US International Keyboard not working

juancampa commented 9 years ago

This keyboard uses what it's known as dead keys:

if you want to insert the character ñ you have to first press ~ and then n).
If you want an actual ~ you need to press ~ followed by the spacebar.

This mechanism doesn't work well with Xvim: if I want to change the casing of the current character in normal mode by using ~, an actual ~ would be inserted instead, which shouldn't happen since I'm not in insert mode.

Is this something that could be looked at? or should I just forget about using US International? I like this layout because I can write english and spanish with ease.

BTW, I just found this issue which seems to be caused by the same problem: https://github.com/XVimProject/XVim/issues/473

I haven't tested yet but set alwaysuseinputsource may solve the problem. Can you check if it solves that? The explanation is here. https://github.com/XVimProject/XVim/blob/master/Documents/Users/FeatureList.md

Nope, that doesn't fix it :(

How can I reproduce this? I changed my input source to 'US international - PC' and tried to insert ñ character but couldn't..

With the 'US international - PC' input source, In usual text editor (not vim) I typed ~ and n but it results in inputing ~n not ñ

I found how to type ñ. I typed Option + n and then type n. I this what you did?
