Third-level chooser (Alt Gr or right alt) not working on VTE Geany 2.0

[ofgg1983]

Hi!

I am having trouble typing in some special characters such as ~, @ or even \ on the VTE since in a Latin American keyboard these are on the third level of a keymap: you press the right alt key plus, for instance, the letter q, and you get @.

When I try the above example on the VTE I get ::1 broadcasthost localhost after a blank line. With other characters, such as the backticks (right alt + }) I get nothing.

Third-level characters work as expected on the editor, the dialog boxes and the Scribble tab.

This is the contents of my ~/.config/geany/geany_mac.conf:

[Settings]
# 0: automatic selection based on system settings (requires Geany restart when changed, macOS 10.14+); 1: light; 2: dark; make sure there's no ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file, otherwise it overrides the settings made here
theme=2
# no value: autodetect; locale string: locale to be used (e.g. en_US.UTF-8)
locale=
# no value: don't use any IM module; module name: use the specified module, e.g. 'quartz' for native macOS behavior, for complete list of modules, see Geany.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules, use without the 'im-' prefix
im_module=quartz

I tried exploring the app container as stated in the config file above and this is what I see:

I tried using some of them but the behaviour is the same. Since many useful characters (such as all of the examples above) are in the third level, I'd really like to solve this so I can run commands effectively.

Is there any other config file I should look at?

Thanks!

I don't think it has anything to do with immodules (typically used for languages line Chinese).

You could try to have a look at Geany.app/Resources/share/themes/Mac/gtk-3.0/gtk-keys.css but I have never tried to edit it myself so I won't help you much with its contents and don't know if you can achieve what you want using that file.

Not many ideas apart from that - I'm aware there are problems with various keybindings but I suspect the problems are in the GTK quartz backend and not in Geany itself.

This doesn't work. The CSS file actually modifies all of the 'hotkeys' for the program, but not for the VTE. :(
