Hi,
I try to take a look in the source code.
1. src/menu.c:1151 - The menu entry is edited here.
When the user press "Ctrl + LClick", the source enter in this function.
The function creates a WTextInput object (text field) and the user can
type characters. The characters are read at low level (WMNextEvent).
Every character is sent to "handle_anything" pointer function.
The function handle_anything is textEventHandler, at src/text.c Because
XEvent is "KeyPress", the function asigned is "handleKeyPress" (see
src/text.c:510)
2. The function handleKeyPress read character by character events. This
function checks that the character is not a keypad, is arrow -> or <-,...
How? Using XLookupString function:
src/text.c:76 count = XLookupString(event, buffer, 32, &ksym, NULL);
At the end of the function we can see (line 138, src/text.c):
default:
if (count == 1 && !iscntrl(buffer[0])) {
buffer[count] = 0;
textInsert(wtext, buffer);
}
But count is "2" here if is "non ascii characters" (","'",""","ñ", etc).
Then the character is not written. If we remove the "if" conditional,
and we type "á" we will get "'" + "a" in the inserted text. Why?
Look for example http://www.tux.org/~balsa/linux/deadkeys/index.html
"Well, it seems most X client programmers have chosen the "expedient"
wait to handle keyboard input, and so use XLookupString. The only
problem here is that XLookupString does not know how to compose keys,
and so entirely ignores dead keys :-(, accepting only those accented
characters that have a corresponding key on the keyboard."
Ok, this is the reason of this bug, we cannot use these characters
(tilde,...) with this method.
Why we can change the name using right click on the Clip. Why? because
the clip is using the functions of WINGs. Can we change the menu
functions to WINGs?... probably yes, but I don't know. Probably the full
code of menu should be re-written.
Can somebody put more light here? Ideas?
Thanks.
kix
