Support accent mark and umlaut character ('¨) while writing #61

When the accent or umlaut key is pressed, the corresponding character is not written in the note. But they can be copied into the note without problems.

sorry that's sadly not my problem, but a GNOME Shell bug. You can try to type in the overview search entry: it'll do the same. Or in the alt+f2 dialog. It's even more ridiculous with ÉÈÀÇ etc. where the character is typed... but in lowercase

I can confirm this problem because of ibus and gnome-shell. I can use the note with English only. But there is another problem, that input source option doesn't be applied for the note. So even if the last time I use English with Note, then I switch to Chrome, then switch back to note. The ibus keeps the last Input Method. I think if you can make the note as an application it would work. image

An application supports input method is https://github.com/konkor/cpufreq

Yes this cpufreq application is an application so it behaves like any normal application... 🤔 what's your point, here we're talking about an extension, i'll not throw my entire code away and start a new project from zero just because GNOME Shell has a bug regarding accentuated characters.

The only way to make GNOME Shell work is to fix GNOME Shell, not to shun it
