Overcoming Limitations

Remember the post a couple of days ago about the limitations of the event simulation?

 

Well they are history now :)

 

To fix the problem with the dead keys, I added a hash table to the CoreEvents class (the plattform independent part of the event simulation backends) containing the unicode characters ('â', 'é', etc.) and what characters it consits of (in case of 'â': '^' and 'a').

 

After implementing this and finding all the common dead keys (there are a lot of them!) I had to restructure things anyway in the XEvents backend (to allow for AltGr+Shift at the same time) so the event simulation on X11 should now work better and faster too!

 

Long story short, simon now supports the following dead keys:
