Hi dear jEdit users,
I pretty much love jEdit and so first thing what I did when I switched from WinXP to Fedora Core 3 Linux last week was installation of Sun JDK 1.5.something and lastest jEdit 4.3pre1. But what a suprise! I can't type certain characters on my Czech keyboard layout (numbers from 2 to 6 at aplhabetic keyboard). Because I have notebook and can't just use numpad and this makes work nearly impossible. I must copy&paste when I need these numbers!

After my web research I observed that is probably very very old bug in Sun's Swing implementations (see bugs http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4799499, and bugs 4935357, 4707542, 4765333, 4797332, 4799500, ...). Symptoms are still same - can't type non-US nation characters. Somebody reports german "sharp B", <, > and may other various characters. My case are numbers.

jEdit's keyb tester knows about these keys but don't pass it to screen (they are filtered). I can send excact dump.

I simply can't believe that all users at Linux do copy&paste to insert dead characters. Is there *any* workaround?

Thanks in advance for all replies!

Have a nice day to all
