Editor is incompatible with dead keys

[pierrebeaucamp]

I'm using the US-International keyboard layout, which makes use of a couple dead keys.

For example, to type ", I need to press " + space.

The editor ignores any dead keys and inserts only a space. In other words, I can't even type a simple string.

I guess you have custom listeners on keypresses instead of relying on the input of the OS.

Wow, I have never even heard of dead keys. This will have to be fixed by customization, because I don't use " as a typed char but as command key. I wonder what the key event looks like in such a case.

I used the following site to record my key events: http://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html

Both of the following results will type the character ".

keydown  keyCode=16        which=16        charCode=0        
keydown  keyCode=229       which=229       charCode=0        
keydown  keyCode=32  ( )   which=32  ( )   charCode=0        
keypress keyCode=34  (")   which=34  (")   charCode=34  (")  
keyup    keyCode=16        which=16        charCode=0        
keyup    keyCode=222       which=222       charCode=0        
keyup    keyCode=32  ( )   which=32  ( )   charCode=0   

keydown  keyCode=16        which=16        charCode=0        
keydown  keyCode=229       which=229       charCode=0        
keyup    keyCode=16        which=16        charCode=0        
keyup    keyCode=222       which=222       charCode=0        
keydown  keyCode=32  ( )   which=32  ( )   charCode=0        
keypress keyCode=34  (")   which=34  (")   charCode=34  (")  
keyup    keyCode=32  ( )   which=32  ( )   charCode=0
