Does anyone have any advice or suggestions to help Ivan with how to enter a caret (^) on a Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard?
My original reply to the beginners list on Dec 30 may have been blocked, so I am copying Ivan directly on this message.
Original question on the beginners list is at https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/beginners@lists.squeakfound...
and squeak-dev follow up is at https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/squeak-dev@lists.squeakfoun...
Thanks,

Here is a screenshot to show what's happening:
My keyboard layout works just fine on GNOME. Thanks in advance!
My environment: OS: Linux (GNOME DE) Keyboard layout: Portuguese ABNT2 Squeak version: Squeak6.0-22104-64bit-202206021410-Linux-x64
I do not know the answer to your question, but it may be a complex issue so I am CC'ing the squeak-dev developers' list for help.
From what I can gather from a search on the net ( https://kbdlayout.info/KBDBR/), the caret key may require some special handling for the Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard. Possibly gnome knows about this and Squeak does not.
Does anyone on the squeak-dev list have a tip for how to enter a caret (^) on a Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard? Replies should include to the beginners list please.

I'm an experienced developer, so I could help investigating. It's probably something simple to fix, but maybe hard to troubleshoot.
Is it easy to run Squeak in some kind of debugger so I can try to track the behavior when I input the caret? Also, how do I understand what Squeak means by the red interrogation mark? Can I see the actual chat code for it? Maybe it can help us understand the issue.
Thanks a lot!
