Can´t write the quotation mark since new version of Steam client

[-- scippie --]

I can´t write the ´ mark anymore in the Steam client, like in discussions. As you can see, there is a way around by typing the ´ in another editor and copy/pasting it, but that´s a terrible solution.

I used to have this only in Steam console (shift-tab), and that´s the main reason why I almost never use it.

Anyone else has this?

Added note: I´m on Arch.

Works fine here, Ubuntu 23.04.

Quotation marks work just fine.
Which keyboard layout are you using? I personally use the standard german keyboard.
Note that you also get a bunch of extra symbols when using AltGR + key. That way, I also get my german „quotation marks“.

They've broken accented characters in other languages since a few beta versions back. Actually this issue regularily comes up and goes away, it's kind of annoying.

Now that I notice it. Yeah, I can't make the spanish accent or the funny french roof top over a letter.

Though I personally am unaffected since English doesn't have accent marks over letters and German's Ä, Ö, Ü and ẞ are seperate letters, rather than accents.

I have native spanish keyboard layout (es_MX) and am native Spanish speaker, and indeed accents (accute, grave, dieresis and circumflex) are missing altogether, though the tilde n, 'ñ' (as in german being it a completely different letter altogether) does work.

Ahh... úíóö, those work because they are alt-gr, but dead keys dont seem to work.

The letters you've listed seem to work because they also seem to be completely seperate letters.
But all the letters you have to "combine". Basically hitting the accent key, then hitting a letter to display the accent above the letter, yeah, something seems broken.

And english should also work, since the ' is its own character. On my german keyboard, it's bound to shift and the # symbol.
Weird. But Steam's input in general is a bit screwed in general. People have been requesting fcitx support for years to properly write chinese, japanese or any script which isn't latin.
This is especially painful for chinese, you might get away with changing your keyboard layout to russian for example in your DE's settings. But you pretty much rely on fcitx to write chinese.
