#8304 closed Developer Task (fixed)
Dead keys not working in themed text inputs

Description
Themed text inputs in MythTV don't handle dead keys correctly since I upgraded to 0.22. 0.23 rc2 shows this behaviour too. Non-themed (QT?) inputs work correctly.
I.e. if I type [’],[o] it should produce "ó" but it produces "'o". X-Window composition ([Compose], [o], [']) doesn't work either.
The virtual keyboard behaves the same and the only way to input such text is to use virtual keyboard's composition (which by the way works in reverse key-press order to dead-keys, making it even harder).
This makes any meta-data editing frustrating.
A quick search showed the same report outside trac:

I might take a stab at fixing this even though we have the virtual keyboard as an alternative.

Add basic dead key support to mythuitextedit. Implemented from scratch because I couldn't see a way of getting QT to handle it. To start with the following characters are supported, but if patches are provided I will add more - áâàãäå éêèë ç íîìï ñ óôòõö úûùü ýÿ . Fixes #8304

The virtual/on-screen keyboard's Compose approach works fine for me in trunk.
