Chrome and keyboard layout

Hello, nice people of the Arch forums!

I am having a strange problem. My keyboard layout (Danish) works as intended in every other application than Google Chrome (google-chrome-dev from aur).

The layout of all special characters and secondary characters is working as the Danish layout usually does, EXCEPT for æøå. It shows up as if it was an english layout: æ -> ;  ø -> '   å --> [

Does anyone have some idea what might be going on..?

In advance, thank you

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. Maybe you've already came around a fix for it? Maybe it's a bug in development channel?

Nope, no solution yet... I just went back to using the chromium build from the official channel and installed pepperflash from AUR. Even the chromium-dev from AUR has this issue... Quite strange. Also, the menus don't follow GTK settings in the builds I'm having issues with.

Re: Chrome and keyboard layout

I am experiencing the same issue with Croatian keyboard and I found another thing. Selecting text from terminal (eterm) and copying to chrome with middle click of the mouse doesn't work either. But it works when pasting to Firefox or some other app. (copy/paste works with xterm or xfce4-terminal) .Strange...

Re: Chrome and keyboard layout

It seems to be related to the implementation of the Aura engine with Chrome 35, and is an issue for all languages with non-english characters.

Re: Chrome and keyboard layout

Invoking chrome with an UTF locale fixed the issue for me:

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 chromium

My default locale is an ISO one though, es_ES@euro.
