Comment #7 on issue 250 by [email protected]: Random US-International
keyboard layout (dead keys) support
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=250
I came up with a much nicer solution that actually addresses the underlying
issue and that decreases Vim's size^^
Besides this bug, dead key handling was not behaving like in other Windows
application.
I spent some time understanding
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646267(v=vs.85).aspx#_win32_Dead_Character_Messages
So the solution is to reset dead_key as soon as any WM_CHAR is received and
to _NOT_ do anything special if dead_key is set and the key being pressed
is either VK_SPACE, VK_BACK or VK_ESCAPE in which case we just let WIndows
generate its WM_CHAR: just one will be generated if it's VK_SPACE being
pressed or two will be if it's either VK_BACK or VK_ESCPAE (the dead key +
the VK_BACK or VK_ESCPAE)
My patch includes a detailed comment on the logic used
The fix is very simple and feels just right :)
