Hello!
I tried kmscon, and it's fantastic! However, I'm having a problem I'm not sure how to solve.
My keyboard has the Spanish layout. Setting it via --xkb-layout es works, but still does not let me to write tildes (i.e., "á", "ê", etc.). As that functionality is available in X, I tried to write some of the problematic characters on an example file and then read it from the terminal. I was able to see the characters correctly, so I suppose it's not a problem of the font being used by kmscon, but rather with the input system it uses (i.e. libxkbcommon). I've searched on the web and on the feature requests / bug page on kmscon's github, but I haven't found anything.
Has anyone faced this problem successfully? If someone is using kmscon and has ever wrote an "special character", I'd appreciate his/her feedback.
Best regards,
Kalrish
P.S.: backticks, as in shell code, are also not available. That's not a problem, since we have $( ), but, well, I'm interested too!

I guess it should work according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMSCON.
Can you type the characters normally in a regular VT i.e. when not using kmscon?

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue. I'm also trying to configurer the "es" keymap, but even some leters are the same, some special characters like "-" are not mapped correctly (in this case, it shows an "/".

Instead, start a new topic (which you can marked solved when you find a solution) and link back to this one if you think it still applies.
