Re: Vim Help on IME

Well, the buggy part of Vim Help is that the leading statement ("To
input multibyte characters on Windows, you have to use Input Method
Editor(IME)") leaves no room for any other choice.

VimIM is an example to prove the statement is not correct, at least
for Chinese input.

As for Korean input, I don't know anything about it. But I assume
VimIM can be used there because one Korean data file is provided by a
VimIM user (http://vimim-data.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/data/
vimim.hangul.txt).

As for Japanese input, no Vim plugin is found as of today. The trick
part seems the relationship of one-to-many is dynamic. To make it
work, the current Vim omni feature may need to be enhanced in such a
way that every item in the omni menu can be "played" using vim
scripting.

Overall, the direct input of multibyte characters is basically ignored
in almost all text editors, which depend on System IME or external IM
servers to input non-ascii. VimIM plugin is one example for Vim users,
showing that we can have yet another choice in the wonderland.
