Vim keybindings don't work with Japanese keyboard

[domagojk]

Hello,

I've been investigating an issue related to the use of Japanese input sources with the Codemirror Vim extension in different browsers and environments.

I tried reproducing it on mac, using these as input sources:

• Japanese - Kana: This input source doesn't work in any browser and is even broken in the vim editor itself when used in terminal (even though there are workarounds to make it work).
• Japanese - Romaji: This behaves differently in Chrome and Safari. In Safari, it's mostly non-functional. In Chrome, pressing 'j' moves the cursor two lines down instead of one, and entering insert mode not only activates it but also adds an extra character to the text.

I tried to find out what is the cause for this, but couldn't figure it out.
Opening an issue here to track and in case you have some ideas. Thanks!

Which operating system has this been a problem on for you? Romaji works fine for me on Windows tested in Firefox and Chrome.

Hey @Opisek sorry for a late response, I am using mac os, haven't tested it in Windows, but maybe there would be issues in safari in that os as well

Alright. Unfortunately I don't own a device with Mac OS to test it myself. Perhaps someone else could investigate.
