Description

Alt-o does not insert ø in DrRacket.

In preferences these options are enabled:

  • enable keybindings in menus
  • treat alt key as meta

There are no keybindings for either alt-o nor meta-o that could interfere.

Same problem is present for alt-p which should produce π.
Other alt combinations such as alt-a for å work fine.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the Alt-o and Alt-p behavior in DrRacket with the listed preferences enabled, compare it with Alt-a, and trace the keyboard handling path; done means the affected combinations insert ø and π without breaking the working combinations.
