Cannot input unicode characters?

From: http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=126

1. locale is zh_CN.utf8
   • input methold is fcitx, xim
   • please refer to issue 125
2. under urxvt, start yi:

yi -f vty --as=emacs

1. open an Chinese utf8 text and input some characters.

It's possible that the LLInput module cannot handle unicode characters? Investigate.

vty processes "ψ" as two ASCII characters:

EvKey? (KASCII '\136') []EvKey? (KASCII '\207') []

Should just produce a single key event in this case. Unsure of what amount of work is required to do so.

[coconnor]

A test of using a variant of "getChar" instead of reading a single byte from STDIN did not show a change in the final events.

I think "LLInput.compile" needs to be enhanced to support unicode.

still not fixed?

Resolved latest in darcs. Note: The latest in darcs is for vty version 4.0.0. Any programs currently dependent on vty 3 need to be updated to account for API changes in vty 4.

See patch attached to:

for an example conversion.
