The Arduino IDE is based on a java application called processing. While typing text into processing, it refuses to accept any of the characters under dead keys like " ' ^. As a work around I:

  • Open another window (usually my browser or mail client);
  • I type the character I need;
  • Select and copy the character onto my clip board;
  • Copy the character into processing.

What do I have to do to make processing accept characters under dead keys? Disabling dead keys is not an option.
