Issue entering character with umlaut or ring in wineconsole

Post by odecif »

Hi!

I recently found issues using characters with umlauts (ö ä) or rings (å) in the wine console (a.k.a swedish characters). When I press one of these keys on my keyboard they simply does nothing in the wineconsole.
For example: the text "aböärk" would be entered as "abrk". It is possible though to copy the characters from somewhere else and paste it into wineconsole.

There is no issues listing the characters with dir command.

I have no issues using these keys anywhere else on my system (nautilus, terminal, web browsers etc).

Is this a known issue or is it maybe just me? :)

Configuration:

Code: Select all

wine-9.3
Manjaro Linux 23.1.4, kernel 6.1.85-1-MANJARO
Budgie DE
RTX 3070, driver 550.67

$ localectl status

               LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF8
               LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.UTF-8

How do you enter these characters?
I can usually type an "ö" by pressing Alt-Gr+p.
This doesn't work in wineconsole, where I have to use Ctrl+AltGr+p.

I just press the "Å", "Ä" or "Ö" key on my keyboard (swedish layout, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Sweden.svg). I tried with Alt-Gr+p which didn't post anything and Ctrl+Alt-Gr+p gives me a π-character (which is cool and all but not really what I'm looking for :)).
