Oni: Can't input special characters on international keyboard layout

[lbebber]

I can't input characters such as ~, ", etc., on my computer (macOS 10.12).

My keyboard is the regular Apple US Layout keyboard, but it's configured with the U.S. International layout, so in order to type, say, a ~ character, I type ~ + <space>. Oni seems to simply ignore the first key.

Thanks for logging the issue, @lbebber ! Looks like there are a few issues to resolve in terms of keyboard layouts - we also have #396 which is similiar (but for Windows IME).

The way we are listening to key events and translating them to vim-keys in Keyboard.ts might not be sufficient in this case.

If I may suggest, you could look into what https://github.com/zeit/hyper does for text input—if I'm not mistaken it had the same problem once, and it's also an Electron app.

@extr0py Specifically, this file seems of interest: https://github.com/zeit/hyper/blob/7a08b1dc3e07ae552debfe7e62c48b0a5a028ff9/lib/utils/key-code.js

Fixed in PR #716 and in the latest release v0.2.10, so I'll close this. Let me know if you're still seeing any issues, though!
