Problems with LyX and dead keys (us-acentos) [Solved]

[prosario2000]

Hello everyone:

I recently installed Sabayon, and everything has been working perfectly so far. However, I have a little problem with LyX. I am a Spanish-speaking user, who has to write articles often using LyX or LaTeX, although this is the exception, not the rule. Still, I have to say that I don't have any problems regarding using accents and other diacritical signs often used in Spanish. My default keymap is "U.S. International w/dead keys" which, I assume, is "us-acentos". I have no problem using such keyboard in every software in any desktop. However, the only problem I have is I can't use it with LyX, it simply won't recognize the keyboard. Apparently it assumes it is US keyboard with no variant.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

I wonder if it is the same problem others have seen in KDE with dead keys not working (various threads in these forums)? Try the following:

Code: Select all

equo remove --nodeps --ask ibus

(For further details, see e.g. kde aplications without accents [Solved] and Dead keys not working in several applications [Solved]).

Yep... That was exactly the problem. It happened with all Qt based software. I did what you said, and now LyX (and everything Qt is behaving as it should) ... thank you. Sorry, it's just that I don't use many KDE stuff.
