Description
Hi,
I found that Type Mode does not support Chinese text input in ZoomIt for Mac.
Steps to reproduce
Launch ZoomIt for Mac.
Enter Draw mode.
Enter Type Mode.
Switch the macOS input method to a Chinese input method, such as Pinyin.
Try to type Chinese text.
Expected behavior
Chinese characters should be entered normally using the system input method.
For example:
这是一个中文测试
Actual behavior
Chinese text cannot be entered correctly in Type Mode.
English input works normally, but Chinese input through the macOS IME does not work.
Environment
macOS: 27.0
ZoomIt for Mac: 12.3.0
Input method: macOS built-in Pinyin
It would be great if Type Mode could support macOS IME input, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages that use input method composition.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the Type Mode text-input entry point in the ZoomIt for Mac code and reviewing how macOS input-method composition is handled. Reproduce the issue with the built-in Pinyin method, then verify that Chinese characters are entered correctly while English input remains functional; Japanese and Korean composition should also be considered.
