Leaving a link to #4298 here, since they're related and I don't want to lose track of them.

I am using a Spanish ISO keyboard and this issue prevents me from typing (in the terminal) most characters that require the Option modifier. Some notable examples:

• Option+1 should type |, but it does not.

• Option+2 should type@, but it does not.

• Option+3 should type #, but it does not.

These are important characters, and not being able to type them in the terminal is very inconvenient. I need to copy and paste these characters each time that I want to use them.

@BastienVigneron This seems to have been solved, at least on my end. There's a blog post with information about this: https://zed.dev/blog/keyboard-localization.

Can we get confirmation from some others in this thread that this issue no longer exists for them?

[Tom-Boscher]

It works but not perfectly, the ~ character is displayed only after the next character is typed.

This one seems to be fixed. I've setup spanish iso on my mac and this works.

It works but not perfectly, the ~ character is displayed only after the next character is typed.

This one is reproducible in multiple iso's.

• French ISO → option + n should show ~ but its not shown until you type something.
• English ISO → option + n should show ˜but its not shown until you type something.

Do the same in Ghostty for example to see how its handled outside of it.

In Ghostty, the character is displayed but not wrote.
