I got this strange behavior when using the rkward script editor:
I use a Spanish keyboard that make this accents on vowels "á" or "é"
by pressing "'" key and then "a" key to obtain "á".
Well in all my kde and gnome applications it works fine, and in
rkward works at the beginning (the first two minutes), but suddenly it doesn't work any more.
When I try the "' + a" combination key it shows me "'a", but not "á" or "'e" instead of "é".
This strange behavior happens only in the rkward script editor,
all the others kde and gnome applications works fine.
Thank you for your help.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've only got this behaviour when changing the locale from es_CO.UTF-8 to en_US and then opening a scriptfile created under the former.
Perhaps you should try:
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
before launching RKWard from a console (in case you haven't already got LANG so setted up).
Try:
echo $LANG
to be sure.
I've got a Spanish keyboard but, instead, it's configured with the Dvorak variant. Though I think this is not to change things a lot. I know this is more a hint than a solution. Let me know if it's useful.

RKWard just uses the katepart (the embeddable version of the kwrite/kate editor) for the script editor, and certainly does not implement any low-level editing code like for composing accented characters. So I think the katepart (i.e. KDE libraries) is to blame, here.
Note that RKWard 0.5.0 uses the KDE 4 libraries, and hence also katepart from KDE 4. Most of your other KDE applications are probably still using KDE 3 versions, which might explain why you see this bug in rkward, only.

Hi Mancho:
Well it is working fine.... I already had the es_CO.UTF-8 LANG settled up when I call to:
echo $LANG
It answers me with
es_CO.UTF-8
I typed:
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
in a console then I call rkward, and until now it is working.
Is it a problem with es_CO.UTF-8 configuration and KDE or Qt or just rkward?
Thank you for your help.
