I'm currently running a new install of exwm on a french laptop. Writing in french means I need to input accents. Those letters I can input using dead keys without any problem but I cannot use the actual pre accented letters (é,è,ç,ù,à) which is quite hard on my muscle memory.
Here's where the weird things start to show up.
If emacs hasn't frozen yet, I can input C-é, C-è, C-ç, C-à and C-ù without it freezing. I get a message in the minibuffer saying that these are not bound to any command which is normal.
I tried using ltrace -p <emacs PID> and while this is running (in a different tty) emacs will not freeze but I cannot run it in backgroung in a dynamic way because the PID varies from one session to another. A soon as I stop ltrace, emacs freezes whatever the input. As soon as I start ltrace (after a freeze) everythings starts working again and my keystrokes all happen in order.
My XKbMap is set to pc105 fr latin9 which is the same as with my other window manager (herbstluftwm) which works fine. As for the emacs input method, I've left the default value which works fine if I start emacs in another window manager.
I am using the default config for exwm with the added line setting my XKbMap just before runing exwm.
2019-10-17 : Il seems the problem is linked to my vconsole.conf. If set to KEYMAP=fr exwm works as intended. If set to KEYMAP=fr-latin1 , my actual layout, it starts freezing again.
