Hello people.
After I changed machines, compiled the latest & greatest LyX, I sadly
found that I can't compose international characters anymore. But
strangely enough, this only happens inside LyX. I can type ó here
(sylpheed), in rxvt terminals, everywhere except LyX.
I noticed that Hellmut Weber reported the same problem in
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg52002.html:
* To produce special characters (like å, ç, etc.) i defined in a local
.xmodmap file 'keycode 66 = Multi_Key' (changing the behaviour of the
Caps_Lock key. On the command line and in other programs (as you see
here) this works fine. Inside LyX it doesn't.
------
I ran 'lyx -dbg key' and got this, when pressing the right winkey (the
Compose key):
Setting key to 65535,
KeySym is
isOK is 0
Empty kbd action (probably composing)
Next pressed keys appear as normally pressed keys and are not
'composed'.
Strange is 'KeySym is ', keysym is defined in .Xmodmap
This also seems to be the same issue reported for the Mac in the
thread here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg52119.html
I see the same symptoms, even though the compose key in lyx debug
mode doesn't give exactly the same messages.
Maybe someone should file a new bug report on this issue with the
debug output you produced. Are you also using LyX 1.4.x with the QT
frontend?
