<br>
My Compose key (set to the Menu key) is not working in digikam,<br>
whether started from Kubuntu (Plasma) or from Xubuntu (XFCE desktop).<br>
I am running digikam by directly executing the<br>
digikam-6.4.0-x86-64.appimage file. It is working in all other<br>
applications that I have tested. By not working, I mean that the key<br>
has no effect: typing Compose o a results in oa instead of å.<br>
<br>
The only thing I can think off setting digikam apart from other<br>
programs is that I'm starting digikam as an appimage file. Could this<br>
cause the Compose key to be not working? Perhaps because it's not<br>
properly "integrated" in the desktop environment? What can I do to<br>
debug and/or fix it and get the Compose key to work?<br>
<br>
>From export | grep IM:<br>
<br>
declare -x GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"<br>
declare -x QT_IM_MODULE="xim"<br>
declare -x XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1000"<br>
<br>
I have considered to try to install digikam from source to see if it<br>
works then, but this is a bit more complicated than I thought so I<br>
have paused this for now, and I don't know if it would solve the<br>
problem.<br>
