Hide Internationalization bubble

[zcbenz]

This is a feature of Mac's input sources support, users using non-latin languages (for example Chinese) need it to input characters in their languages.

The real bug is: the bubble should be shown where the cursor is, like this:

and this (inputing Chinese character):

however in Atom, the bubble of input source always shows in the left top corner.

So I think our problem is not to hide the i18n bubble, but to show it in the right place, I'll see how to achieve it.

We'll I'd still like a way to disable it entirely although I agree that having the bubble follow the cursor would be good to have.

The reason I ran into it is that I'm creating vim bindings and I noticed that this pops up occasionally in command mode, where it's totally typically to hold and press characters and not intend to insert them.

We could try moving the editor's hidden text input field so it is always by
the main cursor. That might be a solution.

We tried that once. There was some problem with it that I sadly can't remember. Maybe we should try again.

I'm Croatian and use the i18n bubble all the time for our non-latin letters -- please don't kill it. 🙏

I think we can close this issue right?

The bubble now appears by the cursor and as @izuzak mentioned, it is useful and we should keep it.

[mcolyer]

This is still annoying when I'm in vim mode and I press and hold l for movements.

[nathansobo]

Isn't it possible to disable this behavior at the OS X system level?

[mcolyer]

It'd be great if we could have that as an atom option, so that we don't have to tell users to go to their system preferences when they install vim-mode.

I think we can just disable IME when in vim mode, when IME is disabled in the <input> (for example <input> of password type), the bubble would not show.

[mcolyer]

I'm down for using that type="password" as a workaround. I'm for closing this now.

Reported by a user atom/vim-mode#175

[zcbenz]

@mcolyer This issue has been moved to atom/atom#1092, I think it could simply be implemented with @hiddenInput.attr('type', 'password').

[mcolyer]

Cool, I'll mention it over there.
