Created attachment 175478 [details]
a video of someone typing using the characters described

SUMMARY
when typing characters such as æ and å, the editor replaces them with \ae and \aa specifically with no space infront, thereby not sealing the command. 
it also makes it so that when ending a word with æ and å, the word is merged with the next character.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open latex document in Kile
2. type a sentence involving å or æ

OBSERVED RESULT
* errors for example caused by the \ae command being contentiously typed in for the rest of the word
* words are merged

EXPECTED RESULT
words involving æ and å can be continuously typed without the need for a space after them
separate words aren't merged into one

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: NixOS 24.11
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
Kernel Version: 6.11.5-zen1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
could probably be fixed with either the unicode character of æ and å, as is done with ø, or by the commands having the {} suffix
Comment 1 Simon M 2024-11-02 21:51:06 UTC
the command with suffix {} being the same as selecting the character in the "special characters" section of "symbols"
Comment 2 Simon M 2024-11-02 21:55:22 UTC
the Unicode solution being the most graceful when typing, though i do not know if there are complications with implementing it.
And sorry for comment spam!
