I’m trying to use Coda to assist in learning Chinese. Wiring down notes during the class, organising homework, all that.
However, there’s a pretty uncomfortable bug in Pinyin input: random pinyin letters are rendered as latin text at random moments when I type in Pinyin.
I have to remove it manually afterwards, and it is very confusing. When I’ve already spent a lot of brainpower on the task itself, this confusion easily overwhelms.
macOS provides a native way to enter Chinese characters, it works across all the software.
I as a user tend to gravitate towards input methods provided by the operating system, as opposed to input methods specific for each web app. I feel it is a natural tendency.
It would be awesome to fix Coda’s input to support macOS’s Chinese input
I’ve found a few more bugs along the way, where cursor jumps all over the place. That happens if I use multline input (ie, A - shift+enter - B), and start to write Chinese on the second line. I can record a screencast if that would help.
Let me know if I can provide more information to help you with this bug. Thank you!
