Description

Dead keys are keys like "^" when you press "^" and "e", it should display "ê" but we got "^e". For the moment, it displays all typed characters they are dead keys or not.

It's specific to non-english keyboards where accents are used :)

The last thing to do, is to be able to detect all key presses, even for dead keys (because they are filtered).

#3 Updated by kervala about 8 years ago

  • Status changed from Assigned to Resolved
  • % Done changed from 90 to 100

Applied in changeset r228.

#4 Updated by kervala about 8 years ago

  • Target version set to Version 0.8.0

What I did to fix the last problem is :

  • When an event is composed by XIM, returned keycode is 0 so we shouldn't send any key event here.
  • When an event is filtered, the keycode is set to 0 so we need to save it before and don't retrieve any string (will be processed later).
