Subject: Multibyte input and Mac OS X

I wrote in some time ago about multibyte input not working the way I  
would expect it to on Mac OS X.  I have a little bit of further  
information on this front.  Basically if I build from CVS with "-- 
disable-multibye" then my OS native keyboard entry method for  
multibyte input works, but the zsh binary doesn't work well with  
trying to do something like delete a character from the current  
command line, it will work but sometimes the display gets off by a  
character or two.  If I use "--enable-multibyte" then everything  
works great for editing but zsh seems to be grabbing characters at  
such a low level that my OS native keyboard entry method doesn't  
work.  Both work in modern bash (3.2) but I like zsh more than I like  
bash.

Is there a way to get just the multibyte display and editing  
(arrowing, deleting, etc.) of multibyte characters, but to bypass the  
new zsh entry method and just let me use my OS entry method?

Oh yeah, I tried what several people suggested before about zle and  
mapping keys, unfortunately the OS isn't sending the raw keys for the  
keys I am trying to send, so while that would be less than ideal  
anyway I have yet to get it to work.  Using the real input method for  
my keyboard layout (option-6 then e for ê) would be the best solution  
in my opinion.

Thanks,
Jordan
