So this is an input problem. Here is my experience: - If I switch to a keybord mapping with accented character (for example setxkbmap fr), no problem to enter accented character by directly pressing to corresponding key - I use some IM system (I am using ibus), but it cannot be used from lua prompts (applications must be "IM-aware", if I understand correctly) - If I use the Multikey method, it doesn't work either: the combination Multi-e-' should give [é], it gives [ e'], that is the multikey is not recognized as such and translated as a space.
So this is an XCB problem at least for the multi-key problem, right? Is it also a problem for ibus inputs, or is it possible to make awesome ibus-aware? The point is that when using an US keyboard (for example), Multikey or Ibus are the only reliable solutions to type accented characters (switching the keyboard mapping being a not so good solution, that implies to enter blindly the characters...).
