Hyper: Special characters and foreign keyboard not displayed correctly

[jaimeeee]

So I use Spanish ISO keyboard (like this one: http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1iOQ8HVXXXXaeXpXXq6xXFXXXd/Spanish-Euro-Keyboard-Cover-Protector-for-MacBook-Air-11-11-6-Inch-European-ISO-Keyboard-Spain.jpg_640x640.jpg), and it is impossible to type some characters.

For example, "special" characters like ¿¡· are displayed like this: <00c2><00bf><00c2><00a1><00c2><00b7>, same with the ñ.

And other keyboard combinations are just impossible to type, my biggest issue is ~, since I need to type _Alt + ñ_ but it just doesn't appear. Same issue with any letter with an accent (á, ö, â, etc).

I'm using zsh, if it matters.

@jaimeeee can you please test with 0.2.1? Thanks for taking the time to report this.

[jaimeeee]

Still happening on 0.2.1, I get a "ding" sound when I press Alt + ñ

Edit: here's a screeshot on 0.2.1

[johanbrook]

I can also reproduce for alt+n (in order to do ñ). Getting the ding sound on 0.2.1.

Also, I cannot produce a tilde (~) on my (Swedish) keyboard by doing an alt key combo. No ding sound is played and cursor stays put.

[rauchg]

Please retry with 0.3.1.

[jaimeeee]

Now on 0.3.1 and sadly it is still happening, nothing changed imo.

[michalkvasnicak]

Have same problem in version 0.5.0. Using slovak keyboard in order to product ~ pressing alt+ť is only doing ding sound.

[mxstbr]

Still happening for me (newest version), am on a german keyboard and can't type @.

[bendc]

Lots of crucial keys like ^ are actually not working for me either (Belgian AZERTY keyboard).

[LoicMahieu]

Same than @bendc here. Belgian keyboard and caracters like ``,^,~` are not working.

[sullenor]

Looks like I have the same issue in 0.6.0 version with cyrillic symbols on OS X.

I get <00d0><00b9><00d1><0086><00d1><0083> instead of йцу :(

[adrianpacala]

Same. £ gets displayed as <00c2><00a3>.

[jdesboeufs]

Same. Unable to produce a tilde on a French keyboard alt+n.

[julientaq]

same thing using a azerty ISO turned as a qwerty one. No " or ' .

Hello everyone, I have almost the same issue, when I try to type any of these characters  ^ ~ `` hyperterm doesn't do anything, I mean no character appears on the console, my keyboard layout is Spanish-ISO. That's annoying because I can't use hyperterm as my default terminal :(

[luisherranz]

@rgcr for cd ~ you can use cd $HOME while this get fixed.

[rgcr]

Hello @luisherranz, you are right but I can't edit files properly, those keys don't work even in vim. Also it's annoying to have to type $HOME instead a simple character

[luisherranz]

Yeah, if you are using vi I suppose you're screwed until a fix is ready.

[mratmartinez]

Using Spanish keyboard.

I can't write tildes. Like this: á é í ó ú or even ñ.
It's showed as:

M-CM--.

I'm using UTF-8 keyboard.

[jccguimaraes]

Also have this problem, QUERTY (Portuguese), no ~^´, etc...
This would be really nice to have properly working. Thanks

[pedrorijo91]

still happening on 0.8.2

[eliorivero]

Still experiencing this bug on HyperTerm 0.8.3 in macOS 10.11.6 using an english keyboard with Español - ISO layout.
Pressing alt+; produces ~ in Terminal but produces nothing in HyperTerm.

[luisherranz]

:pray:

[juanmnl]

Using Version 0.8.3 (0.8.3.873) - Still can't type the tilde ~ into hyperterm. Tried to paste that char from the _keyboard viewer_ in macOS but no luck either.

[juanmnl]

ok, so apparently the tilde works on a spanish keyboard, it just doesnt show when typed.
edit: it doesn't work.

[rgcr]

@juanmnl I think that's not true, cd works because if you don't type anything you are moved to your home directory, try to open a file with vim in your home typing ~ you will see that it does not work.

[zone-live]

Using version 0.8.3 and Still no ~support, I can copy and paste it, but can't type it.
Already tried a bunch of keys combinations but no luck. I'm using the mac keyboard, QWERTY.

[matheuss]

@zone-live this was fixed via #1006 and it'll be released very soon 😄

[pawamoy]

I have the 1.0.0 version and still cannot type an é :cry:

[DanielRamosAcosta]

I'm in 1.3.3 in Ubuntu 17.04 and I still have this issue.

[rgcr]

I have the version 1.3.3 and the issue still persists.

Keyboard layout Spanish-ISO

Same here @rgcr , which OS are you using? This happens to me on Linux but not in Windows...

[rgcr]

ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.11.6

[facosta0787]

I'm in 1.3.3 in Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 and I still have this issue.

[DanielRamosAcosta]

Problem persists in 1.4.3

[chabou]

@rgcr @DanielRamosAcosta @facosta0787
Please follow this issue (with a workaround) https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/607
Your issue is not exactly this one.

[DanielRamosAcosta]

@chabou exactly! that was the problem, thanks you so much!

Hello,

WSL windows 10 v1809
Hyper version 3.0.1-canary.2

Same problem on azerty WSL french keyboard : AltGr does not execute correctly only with some combination:

exemple : <AltGr> <2> <space> should prints ~
Actually it prints é~

Please Note with <Alt><Ctrl> it is OK

» locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

[Asmoddym]

exact same problem here

[Sryther]

@StephaneDci I have the same issue with a french keyboard. In WSL AltGr+~ works perfectly but in Hyper it does é~. And indeed Ctrl+Alt+~ is working great!
The difference is my locale: en_US.UTF-8.

I tried many things but nothing fixed that.

[tcardonne]

Same behavior with a french keyboard.
AltGr+é then space prints é~.
If I do the combo 2 times : éé~.~
And only once without hitting space after, just é.

Ctrl+Alt+é works as expected, but it requires some gymnastics with my fingers.

This doesn't seem related to any plugin, I tried removing the material theme and the issue persists.
I'm using latest 3.0.2 (stable).

[hakankaraduman]

any solution is planned to this? I use a turkish q layout keyboard. I get the correct ~and `characters on any other application. But on the hyper it writes ü~ instead of only ~ and writes ,` instead of only ` character.
