I have a question about special keyboard characters such as the german Umlaute ä, ö, ü or the italian/french accents. Normally in Linux you can hold down the key <Shift> and then press <Ctrl>, which sets you into "Compose mode". Then, you can press for example the high quotes " and then a voyel like a, o, u and they are displayed with the dots on top. This is not working in openSUSE Leap 15.2 with TDE (same with LXDE). It just prints '"a'. In past versions, I had to set the variable QT_IM_MODULE to xim, but in openSUSE Leap 15.2 it is already set to xim and I still cannot compose Umlaute or accents.
If anybody has any ideas or has figured it out, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Gianliuca,
What's your keyboard settings in TDE?
Trinity Control Center -> Regional & accessibility -> Keyboard Layout
There, tick the "Enable Keyboard Layouts" and add your perfered keyboard to the list.
I use the swiss keyboard with swiss french layout, that does everything you want based on a QWERTZ layout, there is an italian keyboard too, and many others. And you can have more than one keyboard layout and switch from kicker.
I hope this helps.
