hi,

I use MacOSX 10.3.4, jEdit 4.1final, Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-117.1) and can't type-in @ ~ and ^. Funny enough it works fine in the concole plugin, so it's easy to copy & paste (also form any other application), but ...

I have jEdit 4.2pre14 on both a Windows ME box with a Dutch keyboard and a SuSE 9.1 box with an American keyboard using the US-International layout from KDE. On both boxes the JRE is 1.4.2 (IIRC).

On the Windows box all accents work correctly except ^. I can get it to work by pressing it five times though! (I get four ^^^^, and then I can get the accented character I want. I just need to erase the four ^^^^ each time). I just discovered that it works perfectly in the Console plugin though, I hadn't tried that. Thanks for the tip! But still, the problem remains.

On the SuSE box, most of the dead-keys just don't work at all (I can't even get " or ' without first switching to another keyboard layout). I'll try and see if it works in the Console plugin.

If it all works under the Console plug-in, why doesn't it work in the buffer windows? Strange...
