I don't know why dead keys don't work in gvim.
But consider using the compose keys instead of
a dead key. Personally, I find the dead-key painful
to use for common characters. I prefer the compose
key which also allows to type many other characters.
I use xfce4 and in keyboard setting, I use:
* keyboard layout: English (US, Euro on 5)
* compose key: Left win
The same settings must exist in other windowing
environments than xfce4.
And to type a character like é for example I do..
Left-Window key + e + ' (that's 3 key strokes
without pressing them at the same time).
To type ê, I do: Left-Window key + e + ^ (etc.)
That works fine everywhere, including in
gvim or vim in terminal
It seems that KDE is using the win button to show its menu. Anyway after more
than ten years that I'm using the dead keys is quite hard to get used to any
other composing approach.
Thank you for suggesting
Any other idea?
