  • Ticket #84 – Description

    initial v3  
    33In most languages other than English, some characters are overlaid on regular letters to form "combined" characters, f.e.: ¨ + o = ö through the use of "dead keys". Dead keys are not supposed to produce character output, this should happen only if a valid regular character is typed afterwards, and then a single combined character is produced. The fix for #79 drops all diacritic characters as typed, thus they can't be combined with a space to produce a standalone (non-diacritic) character when one is needed in the standard way all typists are used to.

    5 This defect is minor compared to #79, as the current PM implementation offers a simple yet counter-intuitive workaround: hitting a dead key twice will still type the standalone character, f.e. ^ + ^ = ^. Still, this should be fixed.

    77Proposed fix: create a 1-char buffer to store diacritic characters as they are entered. The next time a space is typed, check for the right 'combined' flag, and output the last diacritic stored in the buffer instead.
