Greetings and happy new year!
update: I finally reinstalled Manjaro. The problem is solved. I still have no idea why this happened. The initial question follows:
I come here as a last chance, after multiple tentative to find a solution for a problem that appeared suddenly (maybe after an update) and that is very annoying for the french-typing person and terminal lover I am!
I use Manjaro, with i3, but the problem is also present with plasma and seems non-correlated with the environment.
For this message, I will call the ^-key, the key to the right of the p on a French AZERTY keyboard, which has a ^ and ¨ and can be used to write ^ or ¨.
Since a few days, I cannot add ^ or ¨ accents to letters on my terminal (for example, with konsole or alacritty) such as
êwith^-key then e (same for o, u and any other letter)ëwith Shift+^ then e (same for o, u, and any other letter)
The problem is also present on terminal applications such as nvim.
Nevertheless, this works for non-terminal applications such as Firefox. This doesn’t seem to be a problem of keyboards, my /etc/.
This doesn’t work even if I push space or right after it.
I tried with another terminals (kitty, alacrity) and the same problem appeared.
Nevertheless, the ^-key works perfectly on non-terminal applications such as Firefox or discord.
Also, I can write the character ^ on the terminal using the combination AltGr+9.
Finally, note that if I use keyboard configurations that set the ^-key as ^, such as the “no dead key” variant, I am able to use the touch on my terminal to write ‘^’, but the shortcuts ^+e or ^+o doesn’t work…
Do you have any idea what could be happening?
Thank you so much for reading me!
