I have checked "Enable Input Method Framework" in one of the system settings and selected the only available one: "IBus - Intelligent Input Bus".Hello Andreas, Thanks for your answer,Indeed, in the meantime, I found that the problem was that libreoffice did not use the selected keyboard but worked through ibus whose daemon is not running by default. To solve the problem, I had to go through the mate menus: System>Control center>IBus preferencesthen I was prompted t start the daemon, which I acceptedthen I started libreoffice and the dead keys worked as in other applications such as the terminal window or pluma (where they always worked).To start this daemon automatically rather than manually as above. I tried to add /usr/bin/ibus-daemon -d or /usr /usr/bin/ibus-daemon -dr to the programs to start at start-up in the control center. ibus is then running but the dead keys do not work in libreoffice. Then I read on the web that it should be started */usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim* and indeed, this way, it works, but xim is reputed to be obsolete*...*

As far as I can tell you'll need to start the ibus service to make the deadkey functionality working. There is also a Mate tool for it.Andreas Am 18.01.22 um 11:51 schrieb Marc Lobelle:Hello everybody,Apparently, the BE keyboard is decribed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be.However, the deadkeys are present in this file, as shown below // based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/be' file default partial alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "basic" { include "latin" name[Group1]="Belgian"; key <AE01> { [ ampersand, 1, bar, exclamdown ] }; key <AE02> { [ eacute, 2, at, oneeighth ] }; key <AE03> { [ quotedbl, 3, numbersign, sterling ] }; key <AE04> { [apostrophe, 4, onequarter, dollar ] }; key <AE05> { [ parenleft, 5, onehalf, threeeighths ] }; key <AE06> { [ section, 6, asciicircum, fiveeighths ] }; key <AE07> { [ egrave, 7, braceleft, seveneighths ] }; key <AE08> { [ exclam, 8, bracketleft, trademark ] }; key <AE09> { [ ccedilla, 9, braceleft, plusminus ] }; key <AE10> { [ agrave, 0, braceright, degree ] }; key <AE11> { [parenright, degree, backslash, questiondown ] }; key <AE12> { [ minus, underscore, dead_cedilla, dead_ogonek ] }; key <AD01> { [ a, A, at, Greek_OMEGA ] }; key <AD02> { [ z, Z, lstroke, Lstroke ] }; key <AD03> { [ e, E, EuroSign, cent ] }; key <AD09> { [ o, O, oe, OE ] }; // o O œ Œ key <AD11> { [dead_circumflex, dead_diaeresis, bracketleft, dead_abovering ] }; key <AD12> { [ dollar, asterisk, bracketright, dead_macron ] };key <AC01> { [ q, Q, ae, AE ] };key <AC10> { [ m, M, dead_acute, dead_doubleacute ] };Thus apparently, the BE keyboard is not the be keyboard described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be.Does anyone know where the keyboards tha are effectively used are located and/or how to use the good one, described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be ?Thanks, Marc On 18/01/2022 00:24, Marc Lobelle wrote:HelloApparently there are no dead keys in the BE keyboard.
