Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Issue

There is a Linux (or X11) default feature called Compose Key, which allows to input custom Unicode symbols. Works like this: Compose-> - will produce symbol. But inside Hyper the result is only > symbol. In my case the compose key is Caps Lock.

Research direction

No source file or test entry point is named. Start by reproducing the Compose Key sequence in Hyper.app on Fedora 30 and inspect the input behavior through the listed DevTools entry point; done means Compose-generated Unicode symbols appear instead of only the final character.
