I18N and Tkinter

1

I am currently developing a snap with Tkinter, and I’m most of the way there. However, it seems that typing in a different script doesn’t work (although I can still paste text from another script). I understand that, as a desktop application, it isn’t supposed to need the locales-launch-part for I18N. Does anyone know what’s wrong with it?

My snapcraft.yaml is as follows:

name: prosakart
base: core18
version: '0.1.0'
icon: icon.png
summary: Application for language memorization.

  ProSakart is a language-learning application, specifically for vocabulary
  memorization. It is a portmanteau of Professional and Sakartvelo. Its source
  code is written in Python.

I’ve spent a long time trying to figure out what the particular problem is. On further testing, it seems that there isn’t any event being handled by Tk. I don’t understand why. :frowning:

I’m also having this problem. The keyboard works when running the tkinter app normally but not inside of a snap container. The keyboard is still configured as a foreign keyboard but no accent marks will come through. Pasting does work though.

I never solved this problem, sorry. I hope you have more luck than I did.
