I know is not a big deal and maybe it’s a silly question, but this is really annoying me and I hope somebody help me.
After installing 15.4 in my old laptop, I notice something different. Every time that I type some accent key they show up in the text box with a underline character, just like the image. They usually stay hide until I press another key. https://files.catbox.moe/7ixcmj.png
On KDE this only happen on browsers, but when using Gnome, this happen everywhere. I made a quick test using another VM with KDE Neon and the typing works normally, just like in the Opensuse 15.3. So it’s a Opensuse 15.4 thing.
I made another test and installed Falkon and Konqueror, two Qt browsers, and there is no annoying underline on both when typing accents. So I can only conclude that is another GTK issue.
Não é um “comportamento estranho”, é uma funcionalidade.
Quaisquer método de entrada que use GTK há de se comportar à mesma, ajuda ao se utilizar linguagens de programação onde tem-se de escrever o acento grave mais de uma vez, a exemplo do markdown.
Esse era o meu temor. Está parecido quando o google muda a interfaçe do youtube sem ninguém pedir por tal e todo mundo tem que engolir. Faz parte.
O jeito é se adaptar(ou se o TOC realmente bater pesado, pensar em mudar pro KDE neon). Mas acho que ficarei mais um tempinho usando o 15.3 no PC principal.
Certainly not. I don’t see this effect. I have a German keyboard and layout German (dead tilde). When I type Portuguese special characters everything is fine. Which is your keyboard and layout? Do you start Plasma Wayland or X11?
I use virtualbox only to make some tests and get some screenshots to post. On my laptop, with a fresh and normal install of 15.4 running KDE, this happens too.
My notebook is an Acer with a PT-BR keyboard, with defaults settings. And I’m starting using X11.
And the underline shows up only when I type accents keys(~ ` ´ ^) , when I press the Ç key, no underline.
It’s also happening with Firefox and a German “no dead keys” keyboard …
But, not with all key sequences – only some things which don’t misbehave on this Laptop keyboard – only with my Cherry keyboard on the Desktop machine … >:)
I have a German keyboard as well, and the T3 keyboard with lots of dead keys. (^ ` ´ ˙ˇ¨ ¯ ˝ ˘ ~ ° ̉ ̛ ¸,˛ ̣ ), and this isn’t limited to firefox and gtk application, it’s everywhere, even xterm has it.
Though I don’t really consider it annoying per se (though I could live without it), as I’m quite proficient with the dead keys of my keyboard, I mean there’s a reason I’ve activated the T3 keyboard layout, Şơ ı cøűłð ŵŕïŧə æll þiſ without using the character map, heck I even get uppercase **ẞ, **proper feet (′) and inch (″) characters, ≤ ≥ and much more. Too bad the German T3 layout was retired in favor of the E1/E2. With the T3 I have a proper Cherry keyboard with the keys correctly labelled, no real hardware with the E1 exists. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/T2_(Tastaturbelegung), https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1_(Tastaturbelegung))
I wouldn’t mind being able to deactivate it, though.
If the appearance of these isn’t consistent, it’s maybe because some compose sequences get triggered?
And the must funny thing is that I still need to press keys at least 6 times to get ´´´ on firefox. At least now we can see a cut underline sign every time we type a dead key and there is nothing we can do to revert it …
