Cannot type accented capital letters in kde-konsole

Question

If i try to type a capital letter with accent (e.g. Ř) in kde-konsole, I get the following result: ˇR - the letter and the accent as two characters. The normal behaviour is that after pressing ˇ character, it is not output immediately but another character is expected. In the konsole tho, the character is output immediately. In other applications, it works fine. I am using gnome and in it the kde-console application. Any directions how to solve this?

Answer 1

First check your font (Right click, Edit current profile),

Then check your encodings, i.e $LANG $LANGUAGE $LC_ALL see if it's right,

Also check the encoding in Konsole profile (Advanced tab)

Does it happen to other KDE app like kate, kwrite?

Answer 2

Seems to be some kind of a bug refering to: Keyboard layout does not work correctly in konsole
Set the keyboard-layout which you use mainly (that one which works fine in other applications) to the first position in kde keyboard-layout settings, or delete all other keyboard leyouts if you don't need them anyway.
