And to type a character like é for example I do.. Left-Window key + e + ' (that's 3 key strokes without pressing them at the same time). To type ê, I do: Left-Window key + e + ^ (etc.) That works fine everywhere, including in gvim or vim in terminal It seems that KDE is using the win button to show its menu. Anyway after more than ten years that I'm using the dead keys is quite hard to get used to any other composing approach. Thank you for suggesting Any other idea?

I really like the idea of having a terminal attached to my editor (:terminal) unfortunately in my case it doesn't work properly. In particular I think this is a configuration problem. I've a US keyboard configured as international withe dead keys. This means that ' " ` ~ and some other keys need a second keystroke (a space) to print their value otherwise it is composed to the next keystroke. It works like a charm in bash but not in the vim terminal. When I press one of these keys followed by a space instead of the correct character I get a ;2u. This makes quite unusable the terminal and quite frustrating to use the mouse to go to a real terminal. The problem seems to be limited to gvim, on vim it works as expected. I googled around without lucky. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or how to solve the issue? I'm on Fedora 31 up-to-date Try hitting the dead key twice instead of the space key. unfortunately nothing changed. Any other hint?
