Huh, this only seems to happen when
columnsis even. If it's odd numbered it will work. I will fix it up.Just curious, do you use MacVim with locale set to Chinese? MacVim still has quite a few unlocalized pieces (the settings dialog, random texts that are MacVim-specific, documentation) so I'm curious how the user experience is.

Thanks ychin.
MacVim works very well in Chinese environment.
The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that when using LeaderF to input Chinese, it will look like this:
I know it can be solved by canceling
Draw marked text inline, but this will cause the original input characters to be hidden, so it is not a perfect solution.I have seen similar issues mentioning this problem, and it seems that the bottom layer needs to be modified to solve it, it may be difficult to solve.
Everything else works fine, thanks a lot for your contribution!

Ah yes, getting input to work better is actually quite high on my list to do next, so this will be tackled soon. In particular you should not need to disable "draw marked text inline" if everything worked and we shouldn't have two settings that are both broken a little bit in their own ways. Getting input methods to work better in non-insert mode situations (including your use case, or just using
r) is on my list but I need to think a little about the best way to tackle them first, but I don't think there's anything in Vim that's particularly problematic. It's mostly a MacVim-layer issue. So there should be a fix in the future soon (disclaimer: "soon" has a flexible definition…) !dantezhu commentedon Mar 8, 2023
Haha, thank you very much! looking forward to the fix~ 😁
