Can't input "accents" inside a tilda terminal #148

Closed rcalsaverini closed 9 years ago

rcalsaverini commented 9 years ago

Hi there, I'm trying to configure tilda but there seems to be a problema where I can't use keys like ~, or ´ inside the tilda terminal (so I can't, for instance, type cd ~ or type letters with accents in a file while editing on vim). The key seems to be ignored, or maybe just the character is not inputted. Those keys work perfectly in other terminal applications.

My keyboard have a ABNT2 brazilian keyboard layout. Maybe this is the problem?

Do you have the same problem with Gnome-Terminal? Is it Tilda specific? This might be better resolved on the forums for your linux distribution/elsewhere but could provide these details: showkey --ascii for your ` and ~ keys. Also xmodmap output.

Sorry for the delay in answering, but I was away from my work computer.

It seems to be intermittent. It only happened on tilda, but since it's intermittent I can't be sure that I was just lucky that it didn't happened on other terminals. I'm thinking it's probably not a tilda problem.

Thanks for your help.

I am not quite sure what shell you get wrapped around tmux when you start it like this. Its quite possible that you get dash or something else instead of bash. If you want to be sure, you can try to start it like this:

/bin/bash -c tmux
