*This occurs on both Wayland and X11 Plasma sessions, so maybe the problem lies somewhere upstream.* STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set keyboard layout to English (UK, Colemak-DH) 2. Enable Position of Compose Key -> Right Alt in advanced keyboard settings 3. Try to use the compose key OBSERVED RESULT Right Alt functions as normal, as a modifier to access alternate characters EXPECTED RESULT Right Alt functions as compose key SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Compose key = Right Alt works fine on qwerty.
Turns out that moving colemak-dh to the top of the layouts list made the compose key work.
>*This occurs on both Wayland and X11 Plasma sessions, so maybe the problem lies somewhere upstream.* Sorry for the delay. You're absolutely right, on X11 we don't handle compose keys directly, the X server takes care of this. The relevant upstream is xkbcommon
