    Wow! Thank you for going through the effort of figuring out whether there was a solution for me. I really appreciate it!

    And yeah… I could probably type all the characters I need to type through workarounds. But my problem is that I don’t think I should have to relearn how to type in order to switch to Linux. It’s a relatively niche issue I ran into, but I’m clearly not the only one running into it.

    Which is a shame because I do want Linux to be more widely used than it is currently, and I think small annoyances like this are part of what is holding it back. It makes it more of a hassle to overcome the hurdle of switching OS.

      You’re most welcome!

      And yes, I completely 100% agree. Hopefully there will soon be a fix for this, because like you said, it really sounds like something that should be able to be fixed relatively easily, lol.

      Anyways, best of luck to you in the future!

        I have one final question, which you might know perhaps… Where would one go to make feature requests for Linux itself? If I quickly Google this I find places to make feature requests for specific distros, but not for Linux as a whole.

        I ask because I suspect this issue is more fundamental to Linux itself, rather than the individual distros I tried.

        Edit: Or maybe I am misunderstanding, and this is something that does need to be brought up with the distros
