caret, tick, backtick and diaeresis can't be written.
See original GitHub issueDoes this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.67.1
- OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Steps to Reproduce:
- Configure your keyboard with Spanish layout
- launch vscode with gtk input method xim.
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim" code
- try to write any of the following characters
^
,`
,´
,á
,é
,í
,ó
,ú
,ü
, etc…
The reason to use xim input method is due to (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/48480#issuecomment-413793736). launching vscode with ibus or using a different keyboard layout makes those character tp work fine, but then some keyboard shorcut stop working.
Also, it seems that this issue affects only vscode, since launching other gtk applications (such as gnome-calculator) with input method “xim” doesn’t make those character to fail.

@lsmor Could you please also try configuring
"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"
and restarting VS Code. Does that help with the keyboard shortcuts?This issue has been closed automatically because it needs more information and has not had recent activity. See also our issue reporting guidelines.
