Special characters recently (January/February 2022) stopped working in Sublime Text, but they work on all other programs such as the browser. I cannot type Norwegian characters anymore.
I am on Linux Mint and I use Caps Lock as compose key (the settings in Keyboard bindings are “Caps Lock Behavior > disabled” and “Position of Compose Key > Caps Lock”). Then I have some bindings in
~/.XCompose such as
<Multi_key> <a> <a> : "å" aring # LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
With these I was able to type “å” by pressing “Caps Lock, a, a”.
This issue might be similar to this post, where the user eventually added key bindings for her/his characters. When I show the log of “Caps Lock, a, a” in the Console it shows nothing, as if my compose key (Caps Lock) invalidated the next two “a”. The third time I press “a” it shows the encoding for the character “a”:
sublime.log_input(True); sublime.log_commands(True); chr evt: a (0x61)
