Vim mode does not work correctly after upgrade to version 4

I upgraded to Zettler version 4 this morning, and Vim mode is not working as it should. Esc does not switch properly from Insert mode to normal mode; the cursor changes, but the editor is stuck in Insert mode.

Did you confirm that commands like :w don’t work? What about disabling and reenabling the mode in the preferences? Can you provide some more info? Because that does sound like a bug and would be well suited for GitHub!

Sorry, this is not a bug. I am using Debian Linux with KDE desktop, and the problem was with KDE Ibus Wayland. This intercepts text input events to provide multi-language support. As soon as I turned off this feature, Vim emulation worked. I come from Obsidian, and it also uses the CodeMirror library. What confused me was that in Obsidian, Vim support works well; I thought it was a problem with the way CodeMirror was used in Zettlr until I remembered that I was using Wayland. Thank you.

Well, if it word with Obsidian, it should also be possible to get it to work in Zettlr. Sounds like a bug! Can you open a GitHub issue for this? Ideally with the setup with which it didn’t work, and the setup with which it did work! Then we can do a bit of trial and error to find out where it breaks down.
