It would help if you filled all the fields. dconf dump /com/github/amezin/ddterm/

Which keyboard layout do you have? Is it switching between international English and local layout, or is it only one (just different latin)?

I think i have the same problem. But only after upgrading from Fedora 38 to 39 and Gnome 44 to 45.

Description: I'm using a german keyboard with the german keyboard layout. the trigger button is the "^" or the dead circumflex button above the Tab button. Worked fine before the update to fedora 39/gnome 45.

If the terminal is closed the button works and the terminal is opening. If its open and i press the button its only typing the symbol into the terminal/textfield. I have to press on a non textfield element outside the terminal so the triggerbutton works again. Just noticed for example while writing this text that its also not closing if i'm inside this github textinput field.

switching language layout for the keyboard (from german to english) did not really help because the position of the ^ is also changing and then nothing works.

I think its kind of a gnome bug and not a ddterm bug. but anyway you maybe know where to search for a solution

Personally, I'm using a AZERTY latin keyboard. I'm not able to procure a backtrace rn

Same problem on my side. I would add that if the application focus is on a text zone, as in gedit, using the ² shortcut will not open the terminal, but will be used to write in the text zone.

I am having the same issue and the same setup as above.

If I switch the shortcut to F12 the issue is gone.

More information: In 'Ubuntu on Xorg', there are no issues with the shortcut key ². The bug seems to appear only with Wayland.

[Onion2222]

Same problem on Wayland after upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04. I also use the ² key but it get captured on the terminal instead of closing it. F1 key works perfectly.
