Yes, it does, at least I think. Here is the output (there are many events, for the dead key is under a modifier, so the sequence is "press modifier, press dead_key, release both, press vowel key, (press the modified vowel), release vowel key") : KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20052895, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20053287, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x80, keycode 40 (keysym 0xfe57, dead_diaeresis), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 a8) "¨" XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: True KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20053409, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x80, keycode 40 (keysym 0xfe57, dead_diaeresis), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 a8) "¨" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20054126, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x80, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20054652, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x0, keycode 40 (keysym 0x69, i), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (69) "i" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (69) "i" XFilterEvent returns: True KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20054652, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x0, keycode 0 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 af) "ï" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x1ff, subw 0x0, time 20054719, (603,503), root:(2204,518), state 0x0, keycode 40 (keysym 0x69, i), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (69) "i" XFilterEvent returns: False > Also, do you have a locale set which has the characters you want? I don't think so. I have both LANG and LC_ALL to ja_JP.UTF-8 (Japanese), but it is the same locale on my other computers where I do not have any problem. I'm trying to input French characters like "é" "à", but also the very simple "^" (which I usually enter by doing "dead_circumflex" twice). > The compose file used must have the dead_acute+{letter} combination set. > If not, things won't work.

Hum, I never had a compose file (or never manually set it up for my users). So, for example, would you suggest that I copy the full /usr/local/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose to /usr/local/lib/X11/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/Compose or ~/.XCompose? I tried the latter, with no success. > Try doing the following: > 1. set locale to one with the characters you want. > 2. set keyboard layout to one with the dead_acute key. > 3. login again and try xev and your regular app. I did (set LANG and LC_ALL to fr_FR.UTF-8, and my keyboard to dvorak-bépo), and nothing changed. xev behaves as above, and I still can't use the dead keys.
