Hyper: Hyper keeps writing "Dead"

  • [x ] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • [x ] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Windows 10 Pro 1809
  • Hyper.app version: Hyper 3.0.0-canary.3
  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/Nashuim/21e76442b3a6f873ce75a0b23d05ebce
  • Relevant information from devtools _(CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_: N/A
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Plugins don't seem to affect this

Issue

This is a rather bizarre bug that started happening once I updated to 3.0.0.
I have a keyboard with the Portuguese layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_keyboard_layout#/media/File:KB_Portuguese.svg

Every time I try to type ~, ^ or 麓 or ` Hyper seems to write "Dead" instead
dead

Usually these characters are normally paired with another letter (like 茫) only appearing after being followed by one. But regardless of being followed or not Hyper will always add "Dead".

Pretty sure your terminal is possessed.

I have a similar issue that might be related to this. I am not sure if I should log a separate issue for it. In my case when I hit the AltGr button on my keyboard hyper returns AltGraph as text in the terminal. My keyboard layout is Icelandic and this happens with no plugins enabled.

Ubuntu 18.04

And I am running the same version 3.0.0 Canary 3

This happened after the upgrade from 2.1.0 that I had before.

I just tested 3.0.0-canary.2 and this is an issue there, however using 3.0.0-canary.1 is fine and I don't see this happening there so this is something that gets introduced in 3.0.0-canary.2 for me at least.

I can confirm that canary.1 does indeed work so the bugs are likely related

Pretty sure your terminal is possessed.

I have the same issue as @garyx on my machine (Ubuntu 18.04 / German keyboard)

hyper-issue-3395

Having the exact same issue, but with stable. Also it could not identify my Home or End keys without having

  keymaps: {
    "editor:moveBeginningLine": "Home",
    "editor:moveEndLine": "End"
  }

in the configuration.

This should be fixed on 3.0.0-canary.5. Please reopen if it pops up again.
