Dead keys require mouse cursor
Opened this issue · 4 comments
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)
distro: ArchLinux 5.1.15-arch1-1-ARCH
urxvt: version 9.22
ibus: 1.5.20
.Xresources:
URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
URxvt.perl-ext-common: tabbedex
URxvt.letterSpace: = -1
URxvt.inputMethod: ibus
URxvt.preeditType: OverTheSpot
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 refresh_check function does since that’s what fixed PgDn/PgUp issue. There’s also this old patch which might point you at place to look at in urxvt source code.
And I don’t recall whether this issue had been brought up upstream. Couldn’t find a thread on mailing list either.
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.
