Chinese IME: pressing j/k in Normal mode still moves cursor and may alter text #279

Description

@qizhengyang2017

When using a Chinese IME in Obsidian’s Normal mode, pressing j or k still triggers cursor movement. Additionally, the movement is abnormal — the cursor does not move continuously but instead jumps erratically. However, in terminal Vim/Neovim, pressing j or k while using a Chinese IME typically does not move the cursor at all.

This discrepancy makes Normal-mode navigation frustrating for Chinese-speaking users. Is there a way to adjust this behavior to match standard Vim behavior — i.e., in Normal mode, when the IME is in Chinese input state, pressing j or k should not cause cursor movement?
