1. Start a fresh emacs by 'emacs -Q' in terminal
2. Enable chinese-py input method of quail by eval'ing below snippet:
(setq default-input-method "chinese-py")
(toggle-input-method)
3. Start defining keyboard macro by hitting 'F3'
4. Input Chinese '你好' by typing 'ni1hao1' in the '*scratch*' buffer,
and end keyboard macro by 'F4'
5. Replay keyboard macro by 'F4', it will get '嗯你h好', which is *not*
exactly the same.
6. 'M-x kmacro-edit-macro' shows that some characters('n' and 'h') are repeated:
;; Keyboard Macro Editor. Press C-c C-c to finish; press C-x k RET to cancel.
;; Original keys: nni1hhao1
Command: last-kbd-macro
Key: none
Macro:
nni1hhao1 ;; self-insert-command * 9
7. My guess is that it's due to put back the key into
'unread-command-events' in the function 'quail-start-translation', i.e.:
(if key
(setq unread-command-events (cons key unread-command-events)))
