Description
Describe the bug
I'm encountering an issue where, when using a Chinese input method, characters are being directly inserted into the text while in normal mode. Additionally, when I try to search for Chinese text using / (with focus in the bottom search box), the characters are also being inserted directly into the document. Since Chinese input methods also use quotes to separate phrases, I suspect this issue started after upgrading to version 1.101.1. I'm using macOS 15.5.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
use Chinese input method to type anything when in normal mode
or
in normal mode，type / then use Chinese input method to try to search anything in Chinese
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.30.1
- VSCode version: v1.101.0
- OS: macOS 15.5

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the Chinese input method in VSCodeVim v1.30.1 on macOS 15.5, both in normal mode and after opening the / search box. Trace the input-handling entry point responsible for these keystrokes; done means Chinese characters are not inserted into the document in normal mode and can be entered into the search box.
