The help for i_CTRL-R says "The text is inserted as if you typed it,

(keymaps) are not used either, so that e.g. in an HTML file in
Russian, when I hit ^Ri what gets inserted is <i> (the contents of the
register) and not <и> which wouldn't be a proper HTML tag, even if at
that point my "cyrillic-phonetic" keymap is enabled ('iminsert' = 1).
Does 'iminsert' apply to this option too? I couldn't find the answer
in the help for any of 'langmap', 'iminsert' and i_CTRL-^ (maybe
translate even text typed in Insert mode when 'iminsert' is 0 [to
insert Latin text] but not when it is 1 [to insert Cyrillic text])?
:set keymap=russian-jcukenwin
Will set iminsert=1. So this means keymap set.
^Ri is completely independent of keymap and it remains so with my patch.
I'm not very familiar with the 'langmap' option but I would expect
registers containing Cyrillic text to be pasted in Cyrillic and
registers containing Latin text to be pasted in Latin in that case too.
If you had e.g. a russian keyboard layout, you wouldn't be able to use
vim, e.g. to move around in normal mode, like with the english
keyboard's hjkl. langmap will translate ролд to hjkl.
While langmap applies for normal mode, keymap works in INSERT and
CMDLINE mode.
Langmap will not apply for CMDLINE, so you will not be able to enter vim
commands like :g, because the g is п on the russian keyboard. So langmap
is probably not very useful.
Keymap on the other hand will keep the english keyboard in normal mode
and for : commands. So you can still enter :g. It applies for /, so you
can search for russian text. (Behavior not changed with my patch.)
