Some non standard characters don't work in terminal #1989

filips123 commented 6 years ago

Some non standard characters don't work in terminal. I use QWERTZ Slovenian Keyboard. Characters like ~, ˇ, ^, ˘ and ° are on Alt Gr + 1, 2, 3, 4... When I use them in Terminal, they don't work. See https://asciinema.org/a/unRyKt5Em5N6ozQI32YCh0omO. But if I use them in text editor, they work. See https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/issues/1896#issuecomment-392152965, https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/issues/1896#issuecomment-392169164 and https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/issues/1896#issuecomment-392558175.

@filips123 Can you try the following:

Start your docker image, overriding the entry point, to instead start a bash shell in the container, like so:

docker run --entrypoint bash -it <image name>

Then try typing your characters above, in that terminal. Does it work?

I use Codenvy image with Debian 8.9 and Node 8.11. I can't start Docker images with custom commands.
