Evil is an
extensible
vi layer
for
Emacs. It emulates the main features
of
Vim, and provides facilities for writing custom
extensions. I use Evil in emacs. When I press i key or a key in normal mode, evil will change to insert mode, I can input something. When I press <ECS>, evil will change to normal mode, I can move the cursor by press h/j/k/l and some other commands like yank some lines.
Sometimes I need to input some chinese by open IME in evil insert mode when I press <SHIFT> to enable IME, when I press <ESC> to normal mode, IME is still open for chinese input, I have to press <SHIFT> to disable IME otherwise IME will still works for chinese input which stops me from do some commands like move the cursor in evil.

Hmm, the answer seems to be that the changes you proposed allow to
turn the IMM on and off at will. E.g., the above setup turns IMM on
when Evil enters the "insert" mode. However, Emacs is always in the
"insert" mode, so I wonder why and under what circumstances would an
Emacs user want to turn IMM off? Perhaps that should happen
automatically in buffers where character keys do not insert
themselves, but are bound to commands, like Dired buffers and buffers
in view-mode and its derivatives?
