To see if the option is available and working (as opposed to defined
but not
working in this executable version) use
:echo exists("+imd")
The answer is zero for no (not working), nonzero (normally 1) for yes
(working). Similarly in a script:
if exists("+imdisable")
" do something
else
" do something else
endif
Best regards,
Tony.
Hello tony,
":echo exists("+imd")" output "1"
Is there other things I can do to locate the problem?
Thanks

I'm not sure, I don't use an IME myself. (When I need CJK characters in Vim, I
either paste them from somewhere else, or use the Unicode number as said under
":help i_CTRL-V_digit".) But at least we know that you are supposed to have a
functioning 'imdisable' option.
Well, let's see what I can find in the help. Maybe you already know most of
it, but as they say, there is more in two heads than in one (which is why
policemen ride horses ;-) ):
- Some IM servers require a helper application (usually a conversion server:
kana-kanji for Japanese, pinyin-hanzi for Chinese, etc.)
- Vim (IM client), the IM server, and the conversion server if any, must all
be configured in a compatible way. This may require settings in ~/.vimrc, in
~/.Xdefaults, in some shell startup script, and maybe elsewhere.
- Vim can use OverTheSpot, OffTheSpot or Root styles but not OnTheSpot.
- Vim can use a backend server or a frontend one. Windows usually uses
backend, X usually uses frontend.
- If your IM server is one that Vim can fully control, you must define
'imactivatekey' according to what the IM requires. This is said to be only
possible with the GTK versions of gvim at present.
- Other IM-related options are 'imcdline', 'iminsert' and 'imsearch'
- One of the possible ways to start the XIM (if properly configured) is from
the right-click popup menu.
I think these are the most important things which I can abstract from the
help. Since you know how to use the XIM, you may want to read section 7 (:help
mbyte-XIM) of the mbyte.txt helpfile, while trying various settings until you
get somethings that works.
