Hi All,
Please review a fix for an issue where it is seen that Java apps ignore
system settings regarding handling yen key.
If we use mac keyboard layout to use Japanese input source and "Change
Settings -> Keyboard -> Input Sources -> Japanese -> "Â¥" key generates
-> \ (Backslash) "
and Change Input method to Romaji and press "yen" symbol in Japanese
keyboard or "option+y" key combination in US keyboard
Java app still interprets it as "yen" in JTextField
Issue seems to happen due to fact when NSTextInputClient.insertText()
method is called, even though "\" codePoint is passed,
but insertText() has a check for codePoint is complex or not, so in this
case, it is not complex, InputMethodEvent is not generated and no "\" is
inserted in JTextField.
Proposed fix is to see if keyboard layout is Japanese (kotoeri) and
codePoint is "\" then take it as complex codepoint and generate IME,
so that whatever system setting is set for "yen" symbol, it is correctly
interpreted and inputted in CInputMethod.insertText() method, to be seen
in JTextField.
The fix has been tested in US keyboard and Japanese keyboard.
