Does this work for console vim (with +xim present)? I've tried
'imdisable' and it does not seem to work.
The problem with the console is that it intercepts what you type and
then passes it to the application (Vim), possibly after some
translation, or maybe doesn't pass it at all. This additional layer
between the keyboard and the editor means that the _terminal_ may be
trying to interact with the XIM and pass the "cooked" keystrokes to Vim.
For such complex keyboard interaction, I recommend gvim, because it has
much better control over keyboard input, and also over output since you
can set any suitable font by means of 'guifont' without even leaving
Vim. With gvim, there is no ambiguity: the application with which the
XIM interacts can only be Vim, there is no terminal which the XIM could
see as its "opposite number", to which it would be "talking".
Best regards,
Tony.
