Lazarus and US-International keyboard in Mdk9.2
lazarus / 9-Editor

Hello, all.

I'm not able to type any characters that rely on compose key or dead
keys.

For example, strings in pascal are delimited by the "'" character. On
the US International keyboard, I get this character typing "'-Space"
and this works for all KDE-QT apps and also even GTK-GDK ones -
Mozilla and The Gimp are two daily examples.

However, at Lazarus IDE I can't get these characters. Instead, I get
the character $B4 ("´" ), which can be obtained by typing "''". Also,
I'm not able to get double-quotes - I get only the "umlaut" ("¨")
character, which again is obtained in US Internal typing ("").

Finally, the compose key does not work, and thus the last way I had to
generate special and accented characters was gone.

Is there any solution for this problem?

TIA,
Paulo Fessl

I'm having the exact same problem, using the release lazarus from SF
(0.9.22 beta) 7-9-07, on linux ubuntu. I can't type the string
delimiter character => ' , as I can in all other applications. If I
type ', I get A´, it is not waiting for the dead key to get the next
key.

Using american keyboard, with US International keyboard set.
