SUMMARY KDEConnect's remote keyboard (computer --> mobile device) doesn't seem to send those characters with accent (i.e.: á, é..), so if you send for example the word "clásico", on the device will appear "clsico", omitting the character completely. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure plasmoid and device to send keystrokes to the mobile device 2. Open some app with a text field on mobile device, select "KDE Connect Remote Keyboard" 3. Open plasmoid on Plasma desktop, and enter some text on the text field, something with an accent. Send the text OBSERVED RESULT The text sent will appear without the accentuated character EXPECTED RESULT The text sent should appear as written on plasmoid SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 4.19.4 KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I must say, but, I'm on version 1.10 (beta) on android while on 1.3.3 on desktop, if that matters.
I can reproduce this on English (US) Fedora 27 ~v1.3.3 and English (US) Android 9 ~v1.10
I came here to report this same bug. I'm using an English keyboard, US international with dead keys. Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 Qt Version: 5.11.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0 Kernel Version: 4.19.0-1-amd64 OS Type: 64-bit
I've come to report this bug. KDE Connect Version: 1.3.3 Operating System: Linux Mint 19.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.7 Qt Version: 5.9.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0 Kernel Version: 4.15.0-50-generic OS Type: 64-bit
Today I switched keyboard layouts, from "English intl, with AltGr dead keys" to "English US alt intl". For typing an accented character, the former requires pressing the ' character and then the letter: 'a brings á. This does not work with KDEConnect remote keyboard, nothing appears on the remote device. For writing non-English characters, the later keyboard layout uses the Compose key (I have mine assigned to right-side Ctrl key), so <Compose>a brings á. This works with KDEConnect, the accented character appears on the remote device. If, instead of typing the characters, they are pasted on KDEConnect's edit box, same happens: international characters do no appear on the remote device if the "dead keys" layout is active, but they do appear when the non-dead keys layout is active.
Correction: the keyboard layout that uses the Compose key (and works with KDEConnect) is "English (intl., with AltGr dead keys)". So if the character requires two separate keys ('a -> á), it doesn't work. But if the character is generated by a key plus a modifier (<Compose>a) it works.
I confirm this bug still exists. When I type a character with accent it shows in the remote keyboard field on the desktop instead of showing on the device. I am using Debian testing, KDE 5.27.11, Keyboard language PT
