SUMMARY

I am trying to attach a bluetooth keyboard my mobile phone in order to route it to my computer and use it as a local keyboard in the computer.
kdeconnect works great for that with simple characters, but fails when sending double keystrokes characters such as à,é...
Instead of an à, the server side receives `a, instead of an é, it receives 'e and so forth.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure an international bluetooth keyboard in android.
2. Set it up so it has the correct layout in android.
3. Start kdeconnect in Android and route keyboard/mouse to a server.
4. Try to type accentuated vowels... à, é, í...
OBSERVED RESULT
You receive every keystroke individually: `a 'e 'i

EXPECTED RESULT
You should only receive keys once selection has been made (à, é, í)
OR
You should receive "open keystrokes" as in kde where you get a temporary `(underscored) that gets substituted by the correct accentuated vowel once you press it.
