Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Vim keybinding behavior on macOS in Chrome and Safari with Japanese Kana and Romaji input sources, then trace the Codemirror Vim extension's keyboard handling. Done means identifying the browser/input-source difference and adding a verified fix or a documented limitation with regression coverage.

Description
Hello,
I've been investigating an issue related to the use of Japanese input sources with the Codemirror Vim extension in different browsers and environments.
I tried reproducing it on mac, using these as input sources:
- Japanese - Kana: This input source doesn't work in any browser and is even broken in the vim editor itself when used in terminal (even though there are workarounds to make it work).
- Japanese - Romaji: This behaves differently in Chrome and Safari. In Safari, it's mostly non-functional. In Chrome, pressing 'j' moves the cursor two lines down instead of one, and entering insert mode not only activates it but also adds an extra character to the text.
I tried to find out what is the cause for this, but couldn't figure it out.
Opening an issue here to track and in case you have some ideas. Thanks!
