Deadkeys not working correctly in ghostty terminal

[Wiener234]

Issue description

When using a keyboard layout with Deadkeys, like US(alt.-intl., with Deadkeys) while trying to type a deadkey like " (done by typing shift+'+space in every other software I tested eg. tmux,helix,ghosty,kitty etc.) the symbol is only written, in zellij, if shift+' is released and then space is pressed.

This problem only occures with zellij in ghostty terminal.

So zellij:

shift+' space = "

shift+'+space = space

Other program:

shift+' space = "

shift+'+space = "

Minimal reproduction

Default config with default or unlock first in the ghostty terminal

Other relevant information

Other programs like helix, tmux, vim work in ghostty terminal no problems

I have somewhat the same problem you describe but inside of neovim instead of zellij (terminal is also ghostty, doesn't happen with other terminals)

[blietaer]

Correct: something wrong with dead keys (us intl here, hyprland)

[raphaelweis]

I think if you update ghostty to the latest nightly release it might be working. They fixed an issue related to dead key handling in ghostty-org/ghostty#5550

[Wiener234]

Newest nightly of ghosts fixed it.
