Re: Problem with dead keys
Jean-Marc,
I have found a quick & dirty solution to the dead keys problem; I totally
deactivate the deadkey event check in sub 'isDeadEvent' in file lyxlookup.C;
I force a return value of 'false' in all cases.
This solves the problem by now waiting for a smarter solution!
Eventually it could be a configure directive or a preprocessor directive or
whatever you think is appropriate.
Bien amicalement

In fact, it is you who added this code in lyxlookup.C.

OK, there is code in lyxrc.C like:
bindKey("~C-~S-~M-dead_acute", LFUN_ACUTE);
We could maybe conditionize it to some lyxrc variable to select
whether LyX should take over the handling of dead keys. I think there
should be an option allowing dead keys to work like in any other X
app.

You, tell me. All this was added a lot later than my initial _X_
dead_key support.
Is this deadkey handling only wrong when a keymap is used? or always?

Hello,
I can confirm this problem, which existed already in 1.0.3, as far as
I can tell.
Jacques> I believe it is a known problem.
No, it was not. Thanks for reporting it. I have moved the discussion
to lyx-devel so that a fix can be devised.
Lars, I do not understand the use of the isDeadEvent() function in
lyxlookup. I thought at the time that it was to avoid a clash with our
own dead key handling. However, now that I think about it, LyX dead
key handling is done mainly on plain characters. For example,
\kmod ' acute aAcCeEiIjJlLnNoOsSuUzZ
will act on a real ascii quote character, not on a ' dead key. So, why
is it necessary to filter dead key events at all?
