Hey there!
Total newbie here.
Hello Ivan, Happy holidays and welcome to Squeak!
I'm playing with Squeak on my vacation and I've noticed that, whenever I try to type a caret (^), which I believe is core to using Smalltalk, Squeak will insert an interrogation mark (?) in its place. I believe it must be something related to keyboard layout, but I have no idea on how to troubleshoot and fix this.
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.
