Spanish accents are not shown

[jorrete]

Hi, I am using a spanish layout and the keys are in the right place but accents don't appear. Usually to set an accent in a letter "a" - "á", you have to press the accent key and the the letter. It seems that that combination is not working.

Looks like this can be fixed by implementing GtkImContext support. This is in my plan 😄

Hi, I still can not user accents as per today's build. Thanks.

Can you provide details? OS and the actual layout settings.

Getting the same problem on arch using the aur neovim-gtk-git package.

What do you mean by actual layout settings? I didn't change any neovim-gtk settings

In the meantime, you can use digraphs, for instance ^K + a + ' to insert á.

Ok, what i do:

1. set composite key in gnome settings to rwin
2. run neovim-gtk
3. press rwin+a '

for me it works and inserts á i find that behavior changed when GTK_IM_MODULE is changed echo $GTK_IM_MODULE show me ibus.

So to reproduce problem i need more details on actual keyboard layout settings.

I use the Archlinux package, my window manager is Awesome. Compose key is set to ralt in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf. My keyboard layout is mainly standard QWERTY. It indeed happens that I also use fcitx to type non-latin script from time to time (though in my understanding it should not be directly related to the compose key problem), with the following configuration:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/fcitx

As I said, I do not think it is related though. I did try to switch fcitx off. Beware that although input programs like fcitx and ibus may provide an emulation for this feature, I am referring to the X11 compose key.

Other GTK applications (like gvim) have no issue with the compose key.

It works, thank you so much!

Mmmh I noticed I can no longer type the '<' character, is this related?

[daa84]

Hard to say, for me it works :smile: to enter '<' character in your keyboard layout do you use shift?

[daa84]

Ups, sorry, yes, problem with '<' exists

[felmab]

Great! Dead keys and '<' character work fine now, thanks again!

Now, sorry to be so picky, I think I might have found something else ^^; When I input CJK script (with fcitx), I can only insert one character at a time, e.g. (in pinyin mode):

• wo + SPACE correctly inserts 我
• woele + SPACE should insert 我饿了, but it inserts nothing.

This worked correctly before these last two commits, I've just checked with an older version on another machine.

Cool, it is now working like a charm!
