About IdeaVimExtension

The plugin is an extension of 'IdeaVim' , can switch to English input method in normal mode and restore input method in insert mode.

How To Enable:

auto-switch feature is disabled by default

enable the feature with the commands below, input in normal mode:

• :set keep-english-in-normal enable auto-switch feature • :set keep-english-in-normal-and-restore-in-insert restore input method when return insert mode. • :set nokeep-english-in-normal-and-restore-in-insert keep auto-switch feature, but doesn't restore input method when return insert mode • :set nokeep-english-in-normal disable auto-switch feature

You can also add set keep-english-in-normal[-and-restore-in-insert] to the ~/.ideavimrc file and restart IDE to enable the feature.

Notice:

The plugin support MacOS and Windows and Linux(with fcitx)

MacOS need enable en_US OR ABC keyboard

Windows need enable en_US keyboard

Linux need fcitx-remote, or ibus

Support for controlling plugin behavior in ideavim.rc via the following three variables:

let keep_input_source_in_insert=[input source id] set input method for non-English used in insert mode

let keep_input_source_in_normal=[input source id] set input method for English used in normal mode

Note: The above two variables are only valid in windows and macOS

let context_aware=1 When entering insert mode, judge whether to restore the input method according to the context, 0 to disable, 1 to enable

Note: Only meaningful when set keep-english-in-normal-and-restore-in-insert

GitHub RepositorySource and Feedback

为IdeaVim插件增加自动切换为英文输入法的功能

输入法自动切换功能不会默认启用

编辑器中normal模式下输入输入下面的指令以启用自动切换输入法功能:

• :set keep-english-in-normal 开启输入法自动切换功能 • :set keep-english-in-normal-and-restore-in-insert 回到insert模式时恢复输入法 • :set nokeep-english-in-normal-and-restore-in-insert 保留输入法自动切换功能,但是回到insert模式不恢复输入法 • :set nokeep-english-in-normal 关闭输入法自动切换功能

也可以通过将set keep-english-in-normal[-and-restore-in-insert]加入到~/.ideavimrc文件中并重启IDE来启用插件功能。

注意:支持MacOS和Windows, 通过fcitx-remote支持Linux

MacOS需要开启英语美国键盘或ABC键盘

Windows需要开启英语美国键盘

Linux需要使用fcitx输入法,通过fcitx-remote切换,或使用ibus输入引擎

支持在ideavim.rc中通过以下三个变量控制插件行为:

let keep_input_source_in_insert=[input source id] 设置insert模式使用的非英文输入法

let keep_input_source_in_normal=[input source id] 设置normal模式使用的输入英文到输入法

注意:上面两个变量仅在windows和macOS中有效

let context_aware=1 进入insert模式时根据上下文判断是否恢复输入法,0禁用,1启用

注意:仅在set keep-english-in-normal-and-restore-in-insert时有意义

Linux 下的 fcitx5-rime 可以设置 let rime_ascii = 1 在 normal 模式使用 Rime 的 ASCII Mode。 版本要求:

  • fcitx5 > 5.0.20
  • fcitx5-rime > 5.0.8
