Description

(Reported by user @Yixi)

When typing IME input e.g. "zhongwen" with Chinese Pinyin IME, the input into the editor is incorrect. IME input "zhongwen" should output "中文" in the editor.

Research direction
Investigate how the editor handles input events, specifically composition events (compositionstart, compositionupdate, compositionend). The issue likely arises because intermediate IME keystrokes are being inserted into the editor before the composition is finalized. Look at the event handling code in the repository, such as files related to editor input and DOM interaction. Check if there is any handling for 'beforeinput' or 'input' events that might need to be suppressed during composition.
