I'm not really shure where (and what) to analyse. However, I have added debugs for text(), key() and ascii() in getSymbolName(). For what it's woth, the result is below. Some further notes: 1. I can type Ä with "Caps_Lock ä" (see dbg output) 2. As Kornel already reported, it i also possible to insert Ä into widgets (search dialog) HTH, Jürgen. // Sequenze: <Caps_lock> ä </Caps_lock> S-ä // 1. Caps_Lock ä -> Ä (successful) // a.)
