<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">On Windows dead keys are delivered as KeyEvents. The dead keys generate KEY_PRESSED events and the final composed character is delivered in a KEY_TYPED event. This reflects how the OS handles dead keys.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">X11 follows the Mac model but JavaFX does not implement this completely (it only sends the final commit event). I haven’t delved into the code in detail but I suspect fleshing out the InputMethodEvent path
to match the Mac would be much easier than trying to force Linux to deliver the same event stream as Windows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
