Thank you, @Gunnar Hjalmarsson. I'm still on LM18, maybe update to 18.1 when available for Xfce version will take up those changes.
Unfortunately, fixing this caused a different kate problem now... Can't paste with Ctrl+V (just in case anyone encounters the same as a result of following my path: pasting works for me when kate's snippet dialog isn't visible). Now I'll need to decide which problem is the one that bugs me more - no accents, or no pasting with snippet dialog open... Seems these input methods are entangled with very unexpected things. Must be a programmer's hell...! I think I'll create a snippet with accented letters and go with XIM :-\ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573755 Title: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1573755/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
