SUMMARY *** KDE connect Compose send feature will not send non English characters to paired PC, if keyboard layout is set to a non-English layout. Non-English characters in my case are Hungarian and Romanian letters with diacritics, like éáőúíű or șțăîâ, etc. These letters will be missing completely form the received text. Received text will only appear correctly if keyboard layout is set to English. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type text using letters with diacritics in KDE connect, Compose send. 2. Send text to paired pc. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Recieved text is missing the characters with diacritics. EXPECTED RESULT Received text should be the exactly the same as the one written on the paired device.

I can confirm! For me the same, none of the characters with diacritics is received, only the other ones! I did it like this: Opened Kate on the laptop and focused Left the laptop's keyboard layout first to English (US), then tried other layouts Opened KDE connect on phone and went to Remote input Accepted the remote input request on the laptop Then clicked on the keyboard at the top and when the phone's keyboard appeared I typed letters, including the ones in Romanian and Italian, which did not appear at all. Then with the Compose feature and the same, none of the characters with diacritics appeared, only the other ones!
