Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce Chinese input with Sougou Pinyin in VSCodeVim INSERT MODE on the reported environment, then trace the extension's insert-mode handling for IME composition and selection. Done means Chinese candidates can be selected normally without breaking INSERT MODE.
