Bug ID: 357062
Summary: Dead keys do not work correctly in vi input mode
Product: kate
Version: 5.0.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Vi Input Mode
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mtijink.b...@gmail.com
My keyboard setting (Us-intl, with dead keys) uses the dead keys (so for
example: ') to compose characters like ', é, ë, ", etc.
The vi input mode does not work with correctly with this: the characters
appear, but repeating an insert using . does not insert those characters,
skipping them. Additionally, the characters appear even if they were typed in
normal mode (which should ignore them).
I traced the cause of the problem, and it appears that different events are
send for composed keys (QInputMethodEvent instead of QKeyEvent), and that code
just inserts the characters, without passing them to the input mode code.
(I also sent an e-mail to the mailing list, but did not receive a reply, so I
made this bug report)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a keyboard layout with dead keys
2. Type a character like é in vi mode (e.g. "café")
3. Repeat the insertion, by using .
Actual Results:
The é is not present in the repeated insertion (so "caf" appears)
Expected Results:
It should have shown "café"
My kate version is 15.12 (which I couldn't choose in the version box)
