Description
Describe the bug
To type Vietnamese text, we use an application call Unikey (Link download: https://unikey.vn/download/201807/UniKey-4.2RC4-140823-Setup_x32.exe). However, when enabling VSCodeVim, we cannot type Vietnamese text properly.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'https://unikey.vn/vietnam/' or download directly Unikey with \https://unikey.vn/download/201807/UniKey-4.2RC4-140823-Setup_x32.exe
- Install Unikey, configure: Character Set: Unicode, Input method: Telex
- Go to VS Code and start typeing "Tooi yeeu Vieetj Nam"
- The proper result should be "Tôi yêu Việt Nam", but mostly the extension provides incorrect text
Expected behavior
Typing these characters "Tooi yeeu Vieetj Nam", the proper text should be "Tôi yêu Việt Nam"
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.8.0
- VSCode version: 1.34.0
- OS: Windows 10
