[Mlterm-dev-en] Problems with German layout in vim on mlterm-wl

[Christian V. S. <cv....@ma...>]

Hi,

I would like to use mlterm-wl under sway, but I encounter a strange
problem with my German keyboard layout. On the command line (bash), I
can use umlauts (ö, ä, ü) as usual, but when I try to enter an umlaut in
vim insert mode, strange things happen. It seems like mlterm-wl sends
some character sequence to vim that starts with the umlaut but then
causes vim to leave insert mode (Esc) and then repeat the previous
action -- or something like that, I'm not sure. This does not happen
with mlterm/X11.

Another minor issue, probably fontconfig related as it also happens on
Wayland only, is the exact placement of line drawing characters. Using
the Inconsolata font, everything works fine on X11, but under Wayland,
the line drawing characters do not line up properly.
