scrcpy: Umlauts don't work
Hey there, it seems that keyboard input doesn’t quite work with umlauts. Every time I try to enter one, it inserts the base character and then adds the character for the dots after it and then weirdly selects and sometimes deletes it, but sometimes … it doesn’t … I don’t know.
Just watch this gif:
Is that something wrong on my side or is that scrcpy’s fault?
My PC and phone both use the same language.

In my opinion, being able to type whatever character is needed in the user’s language of choice should be considered part of
scrcpy’s basic functionality just as much as its default keyboard text input is.Otherwise this issue renders
scrcpycompletely unusable (as far as text input goes) for people whose languages don’t even use latin characters like most Asian languages, Russian or Greek do for example.I really hope that everyone can agree on this with me.
@PureIncompetence THANK YOU very much, I can confirm umlauts working under ubuntu using the package provided via apt.
I confirm, that with snap Umlauts don’t work with the apt package it works. THANKS a LOT. I was looking for a solution for many month already.
This seems to work for (German) umlauts now (I’m on v1.11), but not alt keys (like there is
Alt Gr + Efor the Euro € symbol). Apart from that, that’s a nice improvement already. 😀In the comments: https://github.com/senzhk/ADBKeyBoard
