Description
I'm writing a syntax highlighting tool using the contentEditable=true feature. I was able to get it working for Western languages reasonably quickly, but I'm having a hard time making it work well when users have IME software running.
WebKit implements the DOM3 "textInput" event, which eventually does the job. Firefox has a proprietary "text" event that I haven't figured out yet. Apparently Internet Explorer has a propertyChange event that can also do the trick.
I would be really grateful (and I think I speak for a 3rd of the world's population) if the awesome jQuery developers took a look at this hard problem. Having an abstraction layer in jQuery would make it easier to build more inclusive applications.
Thank you very much!

I think we're going to have to defer to a plugin author here - hopefully implementing something with special events.
