![]() ![]() However, I do like everything else about Fedora, so I really hope that there is a way to solve this problem. Not being able to produce special characters in Geany is unacceptable for me, so if this problem persists, I am switching to another Linux distribution. I intensively use Geany for programming and writing texts, in which I often need to print special characters. I have searched this problem on Google and DuckDuckGo, and I found a guy on Reddit which had the EXACT same problem as I have, but nobody answered his thread, so my search to an answer to these question continues. I would like to know: how is this problem caused? What can I do to solve this problem? Specifically Fedora has this problem, and also specifically with Geany (not with other applications). I know that this Geany-problem is Fedora specific, because all other Linux distributions I have used so far (Puppy Linux, MX Linux, Kali Linux, Linux Mint etcetera) didn't have this problem. I can copy special characters outside of Geany and then paste them into Geany fine, but I cannot produce them in Geany itself. Geany does have the problem of not being able to produce special characters. Mozilla Firefox also does not have this problem. This problem is Geany-specific, since the default text editor of Fedora does not have this problem. Rather than producing a ~ in the normal way, I must keep Shift + ~ pressed, and then the character ~ starts appearing repeatedly after a few seconds, after which I remove the redundant characters, because I only need one. When I try to produce the letter š, I get 's' instead. In Geany, when I try to produce the letter é, I get 'e' instead. I am facing a problem when using the text editor Geany. My keyboard layout is "US international with dead keys". Meanwhile there are hundreds of legitimate issue reports and feature requests that the developers would be very grateful to have someone help with.I am using Fedora 5.3.86_64 GNU/Linux with GNOME 3.34.2 on an Intel Core i7 with 8 cores, 8 GiB RAM and a 55 GB SSD partition. I see people roll into the GitHub repository beating their chests with the attitude "this is crap, I could do it better in my sleep" and it never seems to amount to anything but a bunch of talk and drama without a single commit, actually wasting the developers' time that could have been spent writing code. You do have to approach it in the right way. ![]() I think the Arduino developers are fairly receptive to contributions if they are in alignment with the overall vision of Arduino. but of course more options are always welcome.Ĭontributing to the official IDE is a way to make a real difference for the Arduino community with whatever level of time, energy, and knowledge you have to offer. There are already things like the Eclipse plugin, the Visual Micro Atmel Studio plugin, platformio, etc. ![]() ![]() It requires long term commitment otherwise it's just a lot of work that will be obsolete in a year or two. This has been a big job with all the recent changes. Well you're welcome to do either one but the problem with making your own IDE is you will always have to follow the lead of the official IDE to retain compatibility. ![]()
