Using i3 I am still able to enter unicode-characters in the described way, however the underlined 'u' and the input code is not displayed. When using Gnome on the same system (Fedora 19) everything works fine. Sometimes I would very much prefer to see what I am typing, so my question is, if anyone has experienced this behaviour and has a solution for it or at least can give me some directions where and what to look for.Sun, 15 Sep 2013 18:50:04 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2531/entering-unicode-with-ctrl-shift-u-underlined-u-and-input-not-displayed/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2531/entering-unicode-with-ctrl-shift-u-underlined-u-and-input-not-displayed/?answer=2532#post-id-2532I am just guessing here, but GNOME apparently uses ibus by default, which might not be (entirely?) running when using i3? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBusSun, 15 Sep 2013 19:09:08 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2531/entering-unicode-with-ctrl-shift-u-underlined-u-and-input-not-displayed/?answer=2532#post-id-2532https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2531/entering-unicode-with-ctrl-shift-u-underlined-u-and-input-not-displayed/?comment=2537#comment-2537Thanks, that helped a lot. Turned ot the ibus daemon was indeed not running. All I had to do was to start the daemon and set the ibus engine.
