SUMMARY To get this character for example: "@", using Serbian/Croatian/Slovenian/Bosnian etc. keyboard layout, one must press ALT + V. On Linux, in Kate, that works fine. On Windows, pressing ALT activates the menu selection - so you can't get it to insert the character you want. Note that other text editors in Windows, like Notepad++ for example, don't have this problem. For me this was problematic enough to ditch Kate on Windows - and I don't like switching between different editors. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On Windows, use Serbian or similar Slavic latin keyboard layout and start editing/writing some text. 2. Press ALT + V 3. Instead of "@" character showing, your menu will get activated. OBSERVED RESULT Menu gets activated, instead of @ character getting inserted. The same problem goes for any other special ALT + LETTER characters ([]@{}€ etc.). EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 Pro 64-bit ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
