Switch Input Method automatically depends on NeoVim's edit mode.
The old vim plugins (such as im-select) works weird on my Macbook, so I just create this im-select in pure lua for NeoVim, it works charmingly!
Current version works for NeoVim on:
- macOS
- Windows and WSL
- Linux
- Fcitx5
- Fcitx(only switch between inactive and active)
- IBus
Other frameworks on Linux's support is welcome!
For Windows and macOS user, please install executable file im-select first
Download URL: im-select
For Linux user, you need to install fcitx5, fcitx or ibus
Note: You need to put the executable file in a path that NeoVim can read from, and then you can find it in NeoVim by doing the following:
# Windows(NeoVim on Windows use Command Prompt as default shell)
:!where im-select.exe
# WSL
:!which im-select.exe
# macOS
:!which im-select
# Linux
# fcitx5
:!which fcitx5-remote
# fcitx
:!which fcitx-remote
# ibus
:!which ibusLazy
'keaising/im-select.nvim'Packer
use 'keaising/im-select.nvim'Plug
Plug 'keaising/im-select.nvim'Setup is a must, and it works well enough with the default config:
require('im_select').setup()require('im_select').setup {
-- IM will be set to `default_im_select` in `normal` mode
-- For Windows/WSL, default: "1033", aka: English US Keyboard
-- For macOS, default: "com.apple.keylayout.ABC", aka: US
-- For Linux, default: "keyboard-us" for Fcitx5 or "1" for Fcitx or "xkb:us::eng" for ibus
-- You can use `im-select` or `fcitx5-remote -n` to get the IM's name you preferred
default_im_select = "com.apple.keylayout.ABC",
-- Can be binary's name or binary's full path,
-- e.g. 'im-select' or '/usr/local/bin/im-select'
-- For Windows/WSL, default: "im-select.exe"
-- For macOS, default: "im-select"
-- For Linux, default: "fcitx5-remote" or "fcitx-remote" or "ibus"
default_command = 'im-select.exe',
-- Restore the default input method state when the following events are triggered
set_default_events = { "VimEnter", "FocusGained", "InsertLeave", "CmdlineLeave" },
-- Restore the previous used input method state when the following events are triggered
-- if you don't want to restore previous used im in Insert mode,
-- e.g. deprecated `disable_auto_restore = 1`, just let it empty `set_previous_events = {}`
set_previous_events = { "InsertEnter" },
-- Show notification about how to install executable binary when binary is missing
keep_quiet_on_no_binary = false
}So sorry for importing a break change
