Character-based input methods do not activate in Neovim

[SpencerMichaels]

Character-based input methods, such as Chinese, do not activate their character-selection window when typing in Neovim, and instead just type the regular alphabet. The image below is what should happen; this window simply doesn't appear in Neovim.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add and activate a Chinese (or Japanese, I suppose) input method in System > Keyboard > Input Methods.
2. Type in Neovim. (Compare by typing in another program.)
