iiimf eats European dead keys when disactivated (non GTK apps)
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:55 EST
Description of problem: After installing unitle, I can get European dead keys to work perfectly in GTK-aware apps, including Mozilla. However, in the terminal, or in wine applications, not only does the im window not come up (the applet shows a blank method), the dead keys still don't work. The ideal (at least for me) would be that in "blank mode" gimlet doesn't do anything to the dead keys, allowing the normal input to continue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iiimf-le-unit-12.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a terminal or other non-GTK app. 2. Hit a dead key followed by a letter 3. Actual results: Only the letter appears Expected results: Letter appears with accent Additional info:
Actually, things do seem to work in a terminal... The problem is that gimlet defaults to "default" and not to "unitle". It would be nice to be able to set this...
Well, you mean a dead key works with/without activating LE when you switched to UNIT, right? and what locale are you using?
Well, sorry, how does XKB works on X applications for you? when I tried the dead key stuff on kedit with XMODIFIERS=@im=none say -- I did setxkbmap -layout de -- and when I press Alt_R + @ on my Japanese keyboard, it shows a diaeresis immediately, and even if I press an 'a' after that, it just shows an 'a', but not an ä. am I missing something else to use the dead key?
with using scim in rawhide, no such problem exist
This bug is outdated and we do not have times to fix this so far. please contact upstream directly if you really need to get this fix. thanks.
