In process of your editing text, you must switch status (on/off) of -IME many many many times. Because IME with status on is hooking all of your -key inputs, you cannot input 'j', 'k', or almost all of keys to Vim directly. - -This |+multi_byte_ime| feature help this. It reduce times of switch status of -IME manually. In normal mode, there are almost no need working IME, even -editing multibyte text. So exiting insert mode with ESC, Vim memorize last -status of IME and force turn off IME. When re-enter insert mode, Vim revert -IME status to that memorized automatically. - -This works on not only insert-normal mode, but also search-command input and -replace mode. -The options 'iminsert', 'imsearch' and 'imcmdline' can be used to chose -the different input methods or disable them temporarily. - -WHAT IS IME - IME is a part of East asian version Windows. That helps you to input - multibyte character. English and other language version Windows does not - have any IME. (Also there is no need usually.) But there is one that - called Microsoft Global IME. Global IME is a part of Internet Explorer - 4.0 or above. You can get more information about Global IME, at below - URL. - -WHAT IS GLOBAL IME *global-ime* - Global IME enables input of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text into Vim - buffer on any language version of Windows. Global IME is built in, and - the Input Locales can be added through Control Panel/Regional - Options/Input Locales. Please see below URL for detail of Global IME. - You can also find various language version of Global IME at same place. - - - Global IME detailed information. - http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?q=global+ime - - - Active Input Method Manager (Global IME) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa741221(v=VS.85).aspx - - Support for Global IME is an experimental feature. - -NOTE: For IME to work you must make sure the input locales of your language -are added to your system. The exact location of this depends on the version -of Windows you use. For example, on my Windows 2000 box: -1. Control Panel -2. Regional Options -3. Input Locales Tab -4. Add Installed input locales -> Chinese(PRC) - The default is still English (United Stated) - - -Cursor color when IME or XIM is on *CursorIM* - There is a little cute feature for IME. Cursor can indicate status of IME - by changing its color. Usually status of IME was indicated by little icon - at a corner of desktop (or taskbar). It is not easy to verify status of - IME. But this feature help this. - This works in the same way when using XIM. - - You can select cursor color when status is on by using highlight group - CursorIM. For example, add these lines to your |ginit.vim|: > - - if has('multi_byte_ime') - highlight Cursor guifg=NONE guibg=Green - highlight CursorIM guifg=NONE guibg=Purple - endif -< - Cursor color with off IME is green.
