Dead keys require mouse cursor #26
Comments

This is a known issue and I had never had time to look into it. Honestly I’m mostly just waiting for it to be fixed upstream or someone else figuring it out.
There were two separate issues: PgUp/Dn not working and dead keys not working. Conversation on stepb#17 is confusing because at the time I believed those to be a single bug but in reality only the PgUp/Dn had been fixed. |

I see. I'm willing to try to figure out this issue since it's become quite an annoyance to me -- do you have any ideas about where to start looking? Also, do you know whether the urxvt devs are aware of the issue? I have a minimal setup where I'm not running ibus and the issue is still present, so that doesn't seem to be a crucial element, although I also see the issue with ibus IMEs, so it interacts with ibus in some way. |

I’d start by looking at what And I don’t recall whether this issue had been brought up upstream. Couldn’t find a thread on mailing list either. |
When the mouse cursor is outside the active urxvt window dead keys stop working, at least when using ibus. This small fix stops the tabbedex extension from doing anyting when dead keys are pressed under these circumstances, which sidesteps the issue. See also mina86#26.
When the mouse pointer is outside of the terminal window, dead keys stop working. When ibus is used, the prompt pops up but once next key is pressed, no character is inserted to the terminal. This fixes that issue. Unfortunately, the fix only works when ibus is used. If urxvt is configured not to utilise it, dead keys remain broken when the mouse pointer is outside of the terminal window and result.

For anyone following along, this is now partially fixed. (By fixed I mean fix is in master branch though there hasn’t been a new release yet) Specifically, dead keys will now work urxvt uses ibus. Dead keys still won’t work without it so keeping this issue open. |
Hi, I'm having an issue with dead keys requiring the mouse to be over the urxvt window, as described in this issue: stepb#17
I've tried the latest version you have in this repo, which supposedly has a fix for this issue, but it does not seem to make a difference. Dead keys work as expected without this extension.
I have no issues with Shift+PgUp/Dn, just with dead keys. It's also worth noting that this issue also exists in the tabbed extension (Shift+PgUp/Dn work, though)
