Vim key binding snippet:

when vim_mode != insert then "Dispatching shortcuts before IME"
when vim_mode == insert do not "Dispatching shortcuts before IME"

Ugh, sorry about this.

I think the right fix is to send no-longer pending keystrokes to the system IME instead of just to our input handler.

Not only Pinyin input method, but also the Zhuyin input method for Traditional Chinese have the same problem. I hope this issue can be fixed, and is there a temporary solution before the fix?

I have confirmed that the same issue occurs when using Japanese input.
