--- Comment #15 from David <solbez...@riseup.net> --- I think I figured it out! On some systems, KScreenLocker has a virtual keyboard feature in the bottom left corner of the screen. I do not have this on my Debian machine, but with fresh install of Manjaro/X11/KDE it is there. This virtual keyboard interferes with keyboard input even while not being used. On Manjaro, after verifying that all locale settings were correct from the OS to X11 to KDE, and that accents were working everywhere except in KScreenLocker, I uninstalled the virtual keyboard like this: pacman -Rdd qt6-virtualkeyboard #-Rdd forces pacman to ignore dependencies when removing After that, I had full use of deadkey accents effective immediately. --- <editorial>I don't know why that keyboard is there as a dependency; it seems ridiculous. If I need/want a virtual keyboard, I will install one system-wide. There is no point in having a special input method just for my screensaver. What would be way more effective is if KScreenLocker had an interface for IBus/FCITX to allow keyboard switching and possibly a system-wide virtual keyboard module that worked through one of those well-established input methods. I've had it happen to me where I walked away from my computer with my keyboard switched to Persian and when I got back I was locked out because there is no way to change back to a Latin layout to enter my password. I supposed that is why the virtual keyboard is there, but it is still a stupid way to solve the problem.</editorial> -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
