Problem with dead-key in linux (debian + KDE)
I am trying to have a clean configuration for my keyboards and layout. I want to be able to switch between FR layou and US international with dead keys. When I switch using the GUI it works well, except that the dead keys are not working within QT application. it means that it works for Firefox and other, but not for the majority of application I use isnce I am with KDE. Thanks to this link I realise that when in a qt terminal, $LANG is always set to ia_FR.UTF-8. If I manually change that (put i in my .bashrc) or by running application prefixing them like this:LANG=en_US.UTF-8 kmail it works.
Then, where LANG is defined by the OS? why QT apps and GTK apps seems to not behave the same?
debian kde gtk qt dead-keys
