Bug or Regression?

Bug

Description

Despite having set xkb_layout=us xkb_variants=altgr-intl with xkb_options=compose:menu,lv3:ralt_switch dead keys don't work while Ralt + key do.

Although wev registers dead keys correctly, they just don't get typed on any window/program/terminal.

I tried changing settings like xkb_options=level3:ralt_switch, xkb_options=<empty>, even modifying /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us directly without luck.

How to reproduce

Set any us keyboard variant with dead keys

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

No response

Hmm shouldn't it be kb_layout and kb_variant and not xkb_layout? :thinking:

[Motodavide]

You're right, I misremembered with all of that troubleshooting. My configs are correct however

[ordy]

That's weird, dead keys work for me on default us intl and my own custom layout.

[Motodavide]

For me it doesn't, it looks like dead keys are just ignored completely by Hyprland, although wev registers them

this is not a hyprland issue, thats handled by xkb
