Details

On some azerty keyboards, the "é" key is located at the "@" querty place (third key second row below F2 in my laptop).

I am not sure if this is related at all but whenever I press a "é", I get the following message. This is quite disturbing for web searches (it does works as a normal "é" key in insert mode).

[Cmd] [<EVENT [48234499] KEY_RELEASE EVENT [48234499] KEY_PRESS EVENT [48234499] KEY_RELEASE EVENT [48234499] KEY_PRESS EVENT [48234499] KEY_RELEASE EVENT [48234499] LINK_HOVER http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:1qFyIralvwUJ:b.hatena.ne.jp/rawwell/20090526+uzbl+binding+%C3%A9+french&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&ie=UTF-8>;] [========>]100% http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=uzbl+binding+%E9+french&aq=f&oq=&aqi= 48234499 done

Can I solve this by changing the config file ?

Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem. Whenever I press an umlaut key (ä, ö, ü, ß) or a non-letter character (like ", for example), I get a long message in my command line. When pressing ", for example, I get:

[<EVENT [12582915] KEY_RELEASE EVENT [12582915] KEY_PRESS ,><EVENT [12582915] KEY_RELEASE EVENT [12582915] KEY_PRESS Shift><EVENT [12582915] KEY_RELEASE EVENT [12582915] KEY_RELEASE '>]

Uzbl-browser doesn't respond to key commands after that, it just keeps showing that message.

It doesn't matter whether the focus is on an input field or in the status bar when inputting the key.

Locale: de_DE.utf8
Using uzbl-browser without any configs changed.

The joined nature of those events always indicates to a problem on the uzbl-core side in generating that event's arguments (because the newline character is the last to be appended; if the function fails before then they join).

I would hazard a guess the character isn't utf8->ascii encoded before transmission.
