It's not only a my system problem, it's a problem in the way the GTK2 Lazarus widgetset interacts
with some systems (including mine). I say that because other GTK2 applications have a normal behavior, even
Lazarus applications when my system language is English. Maybe an if would solve the
problem; I just want to keep talking to someone who can guide me in the LCL changes without causing
disasters. Mattias gave me an advice (thanks!), and I have found a new direction.
It is possible to add the changes via an IFDEF. For example:
{$IfDef EnableGtk2AccentKeyMod2}
// new solution ...
{$Else}
// old solution ...
{$EndIf}
Then you can ask people to test this by adding a
-dEnableGtk2AccentKeyMod2 to their IDE options.
Can you create a patch for this?

Mattias, thanks for your help.
I don't know how I can create a patch... everything I know is that I
must download the sources from SVN, but I'm raw about these kind of task
(ashamed...)
If I give some simple instructions, can you or somebody create it?
In _*lcl/interfaces/gtk2/gtk2proc.inc*_, line 2278, we have:
CheckDeadKey;
We just need to do the solution you gave (I created a new name for the
directive):
{$IfDef GTK2LatinAccents}
gtk_im_context_filter_keypress(im_context, AEvent);
{$Else}
CheckDeadKey;
{$EndIf}
Thanks, I hope it will be useful for some people asking in the forums!

[Lazarus] Accents in IDE and my apps
When I type accented letters in the IDE or in my forms, they appear duplicated: áá êê íí õõ üü ... Searching the bugtracker, I found this:http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15688 It seems to be a GTK2 problem, in the CheckDeadKey procedure (lcl/interfaces/gtk2/gtk2proc.inc). I tried to comment out such code and replace the call by a single call to gtk_im_context_filter_keypress. It solved the duplication problem but I can't type an accent key (a dead key) in one control, and after type the letter in other control. It's not a big problem to me, but it's a pattern in applications behavior. Does anybody know how can I contact someone in the development team and talk about this? I'd like to help to improve the GTK2 support, but I'm a newbie about this... -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

The letter duplication doesn't happen. If I type an accent (a dead key) in one control, and move the focus to other control, the first loses the accent. It's a good behavior (to me). I made the change in gtk2proc.inc and the behavior remains the same. In Linux, with the original gtk2proc.inc, I have the letter duplication problem. Changing the gtk2 binding code, I can type accents fine. But, if I type a dead key in one control and move to other, the accent stays in the first control, waiting for the letter. I don't see it as a big problem. The changes I made: - Remove the CheckDeadKey procedure - Replace its call by a: *gtk_im_context_filter_keypress(im_context, AEvent);** * -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
