Scandinavian keyboard layout can't handle input tilde (~) #2151

Open ixrock opened 5 years ago

ixrock commented 5 years ago

To type ~ with Finnish/Swedish keyboard I have to press hotkey alt+^: image

After that it shows something similar to ~ but right after when I press any other character (except Enter) it will erase "pre-tilde" symbol. Press Enter "converts" to normal ~ and nothing more (without real Enter).

I checked how this works with vanilla JS and it seems something wrong at browser-level: image

Is it fixable? Wdyt?

For those using Ubuntu 20.04. After a long searching I found out that vscode depends on ibus for the accents work on integrated terminal. the workaround :

1.Install ibus: sudo apt install ibus ibus-gtk3

  1. Create the config file: 
    
cat <<EOF >ibus.dconf
[general]
preload-engines=['xkb:br::por']

[general/hotkey] triggers=@as []

[panel] show-icon-on-systray=false EOF


3. import it to dconf:  `dconf load /desktop/ibus/<ibus.dconf`
4. init ibus with proper config: ` im-config -n ibus`
5. activate ibus on GNOME: `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('ibus', 'xkb:br::por')]"`

### and now everything is just working fine:

Now I'm not using Ubuntu 20.04 anymore, I upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 and VSCode 1.66. I noticed that ibus and ibus-gtk3 are already installed. I believe that since I reinstalled, I hadn't done the accent test in VSCode terminal. And to my surprise, it now worked normally, without having to change any settings.
