SUMMARY I'd like to use Kate, but it lacks support for the character composition keystrokes to which I became accustomed after switching from Mac OS X to FreeBSD-based systems. I assume that Kate for Linux also lacks support. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Perform these six keystrokes: Control-Shift-U 2 0 2 6 Space bar OBSERVED RESULT 2026 ~~~~^ – there's a space EXPECTED RESULT … – a single character.

Hi, have you tried the "Latex completion" plugin. Just enable it in the config and then try typing something like ``` \dots ```
I think this is something an input method should take care of. See e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IBuse That will work for all GTK and Qt things at least and provides what you ask for.
