I have a question about special keyboard characters

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.
