how to ignore backsapce key event on input method?

[coderhwz]

According to this issue alacritty/alacritty#1606, I try look into Alacritty source code,and I found out that Alacritty accpet KeyboardInput directly. I want to know how to ignore backspace KeyboardInput event on input method OR how to recognize the event has been caputure by input method ? thanks

I think the step is:

1. get current input source (or get input source change event from os)
2. if input source is some input method, ignore input key event
3. loop above step

step 1 is os depended.

And maybe ignore key event should be configurable, it's application level choose.

@coderhwz is there any progress for this issue?

I've got a WIP branch (on Windows, at least) for dispatching all the keyboard and IME events in a single event struct, which should allow this. IME support hasn't been completed on that, though.

This was resolved with IME input a year ago or so. When using IME the keyboard events are not sent to the application.
