Special chars (CMP) trigger extra keys

[chevdor]

I am using Chromium and there may be interactions issues between the two. If I type a ü with a physical keyboard, it behaves as expected. Using wvkbd however, CMP+u+ü send an extra char that seems to be interpreted as a right click and opens a popup in Chromium. ü is not the only char, the issue shows with ù, à, etc...

This sounds very much like another instance of https://github.com/jjsullivan5196/wvkbd/issues/89

The keycode we use as a placeholder triggers another action it seems. We could search a more suitable different placeholder keycode.

That would be nice indeed. The issue triggers for many letters used in the German language, including ü ä ö.

I think this issue should be addressed, however, having custom layouts would provide a way out. Having a DE layout with those keys directly available would be generally better and avoid the whole problem.
