Hallo I have one PC with english keyboard (US international with dead keys) and another one with spanish keyboard (Castilian Spanish with dead keys) both with fedora 32 (since a couple of days) and lyx 2.3.5.2. In both PC have the same problem: the accents work perfectly (e.g. รก is " 'a ") when in a terminal, opening nedit, ooffice, etc. but in lyx not only it doesn't work, the dead key is really dead: if I type ' in lyx it doesn't type anything but, there is at least one exception, when saving a file, I can type a name with accents (?)
A couple of days ago, I updated the PCs which both were with fedora 29 and lyx 2.3.3 and worked correctly. I tried downgrading lyx to 2.3.4 to no avail. I wanted to install the lyx 2.3.3 of fedora 29 but couldn't. I tried, according to the customization manual, to add the following line to the file .lyx/lyxrc.default accent-circumflex "S-^" to no avail. I created the file .lyx/lyxrc with the same line and with the same result. I looked at some .kmap files in /usr/share/lyx/kbd, specifically at the francais.kmap, espanol.kmap and the european.kmap and all of them have the acents defined. Then I went to Tools -> Editing -> Keyboard/Mouse and included them in turn with no change at all. I looked at /usr/share/lyx/bind and was completely lost; I didn't understand a thing. Searching with google I found some references but also didn't understand them. In the mailing list it is mentioned (in 2019) that there is a workaround related with Qt: to include in .xsessionrc the line export QT_IM_MODULE=xim I created the file with that line but didn't work As now I'm writing in french, which needs all the dead keys combinations, I exclude the use of latex writing style. As conclusion: am I doing anything wrong? The other possibilities I see are: either I'm a lucky guy and I found a bug in lyx or the fedora 32 implementation went askew. Any suggestions?
