The dev/3.1 evolving builds should now have a proper fix for all dead
key and other international key mapping issues. (Key mapping is now
done on the server side rather than the client side.)

Hi DRC,
I think, you shouldn't spend time for a workaround for this, but wait
for a fix of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8016255. Perhaps
you can post a comment there, that your users have trouble with it.
Best regards

Here is a roll-up of the remaining known issues with dead keys:
https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/194
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to work around these issues, other
than to take drastic measures, such as:
- implementing our own hotkeys for every possible dead key
- modifying the keyboard layout
I also looked into the feasibility of implementing QEMU extended key
events (https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/108), but whereas
that is possible, it's not going to be as easy as I thought.
Unfortunately, Java/Swing gets in my way there as well, since it
doesn't consistently generate layout-independent key codes for dead
keys. Thus, it may be necessary to drop into JNI to get information
about which physical key was actually pressed.
Any ideas are appreciated. I'm stumped.

Hi DRC,
under Windows 10 I use the native client. The Java client I only use
on the Ubuntu 18.04 host to connect to the local open session.
It were great, if you could fix it, since I have some collegues with
accents in their name. Another case is retyping a french word or
text from a screenshot.
Best regards

I know I tested this with the Java viewer. I’ll retest and see
what’s up. Are you using Windows 10?

Hi,
if I use the native Windows client, I can enter french letters
with an accent (like e.g. 'é') as usual by typing the accent (e.g.
'´') follwed by the accent-less letter (e.g. 'e'). With the Java
client this doesn't work. And I found no other way to achieve
this. I only can search some text for that french letter (which
can be quite difficult) and copy it from there. Is this a known
issue with the Java client, and is there any shorter workaround,
than my one?
Best regards
