Problems inserting latin characters
Hi!
When trying to insert a latin character like 'â', sigil insert the accent as long as I press the accent key, and doesn't insert the 'â' character, but two characters: '^a' Is there something I can do about it? I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and Sigil 0.7.2 Thanks! |

Did you try using the insert special character tool (The omega button) ?

Wasn't that a specific Ubuntu issue? I remember seeing it before in the forum.

I am down rev on Sigil (I am not good enough to build my own Sigil from source) The tool does work on Ubuntu 13.04 (64 bit AMD) and Sigil 6.2 |

I guess you need to use the compose key, what's the output of: Code:
setxkbmap -print |

It does work properly in other apps, and it inserts the characters when I use the insert special character tool...
The output of: setxkbmap -print is: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+pt+inet(evdev)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; }; |

My workaround in these cases: write the character in another app (I always have a console open) and copy-paste (which is done by simply selecting and middle-clicking). It's highly annoying, though.
