characters chaos when inputting chinese characters after updated newest vscode

[shoutrain]

after I updated the newest vscode, i found following issue:

when I want to instert chinese characters ("中文") in following sentence (after ":"):

console.log('input chinese:');

I got the following result:

console.log('input chinesez中文');

The correct result should be:

console.log('input chinese:中文');

My vscode version info:

It looks like the issue #115 .
Please try to set emacs-mcx.disableOverridingTypeCommand config to true (See: https://github.com/tuttieee/vscode-emacs-mcx#emacs-mcxdisableoverridingtypecommand ).

However it also may be a different problem since you said this issue appeared after you updated VSCode to 1.49.0.
Can you tell me the following information if possible?

• The previous version of VSCode
• The current and previous version of Awesome Emacs Keymap

Also, please let me know the keystroke to type the Chinese string "中文" with IME.

@tuttieee

1. setting emacs-mcx.disableOverridingTypeCommand config to true makes no sense to this issue. but i think it's the similar issue of Overwrite previous character in Japanese IME #115, my pc is not poor (i7 8550u/16G, Overwrite previous character in Japanese IME #115 occurs on poor machine)

2. sorry, i am not sure previous version of vscode and Awesome Emacs Keymap， i update these two every time when I get notice they can be updated (from left bottom manageicon in vscode).

current version of Awesome Emacs Keymap is v0.20.4:

3. yes, i found more dedails about this issues, hope helps:

original string	input chinese characters	corresponding keystoke	actual result string	expected destine string
chinese	中文	zhongwen	chinesz中文	chinese世界
hello	世界	shijie	hells世界	hello世界
中文	你好	nihao	中n你好	中文你好

looks the first keystoke character replaces the previous last character.

Thank you.
It seems similar to #115 according to the details you provided, but I don't know why it is still there...
One thing, did you reload VSCode after you changed emacs-mcx.disableOverridingTypeCommand config? If not, please try it and check whether the issue still occurs. I forget to tell it, sorry.

If the problem will still be not solved, can you tell me the IME you are using? I will try to reproduce the bug.

Another possible workaround is to use an older version of VSCode and this extension, as this issue appeared when you upgraded VSCode and the extension.
You can download older versions of VSCode here: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_48
and install older versions of this extension from the menu of extension browser (See "Install Another Version" is there below).

@tuttieee HI, yeah! you are right, I should have restarted VSCode after setting emacs-mcx.disableOverridingTypeCommand with true. Now it works fine. Thank you very much! also this emacs-keys plugin is the best one on vscode!!!

PS: my chinese IME is provided by windows 10 system, its name is Microsoft Pinyin.
