Hi!

I have the same problem. I did not tray using using previous versions of Ubuntu.

Thank's for your help too!

Same issue ! If someone could help, it would be really nice ! (I'm French and I need those accents everyday)

I have the same issue, but referred to spanish language. Any solution?

Hi guys!

I found one way to fix this problem that's worked well for me. Following these steps below:
1) Press the "super" button;
2) Type "language support" on the dash;
3) At the bottom there is a option called "Keyboard input method system". I changed for the "none" option.
4) After that I logged out and logged in and the accents have worked well.

Thanks!

I have a similar problem, using playonlinux --run "MIcrosoft Excel 2007" %f, if %f refers to a file with acute, tilde, and other spanish simbols (ñ), Excel does not open the file.

However if I open the program, then search for the file it does open it.

The same happen with the click to open with functionality, I can open all the files (word, excel, powerpoint) with double click, but if it has á, é, í, ó, ú, or ñ in the file name it does nothing, ¿How can I fix this?

Thanks, it worked for me as well for getting the circumflex on a swiss-french keyboard.

Hi all,

I am facing the sane problem.
Could anyone tell me what the "super" button is?
I am working under fedora 20. I have tried to go to applications but then I've only got "Language selection" starting with "Language" and no possibility of setting it to "None" there.
Cheers!

Hi,

What some user call "super button" is the launcher of Ubuntu.

"language support" depending on your language could change depending on your Ubuntu language installaton. Could be "soporte de idioma" in Spanish for example.

If you have an alternative Linux SO you can try:

sudo apt-get remove ibus

or just uninstall ibus or set up keyboard input to none instead of ibus on your language setting.

 

Regards.

This did work for me too!

UBUNTU 14.04 + Office 2007

Note that for french kbd user willing to write spanish tonic accent in word : Ctrl+'+(any voyel) 

wher ' is the apostrophe key,  i.e. 4 on french kbd

many Thanks

 

Sadly, the trick (switching from IBUS to NONE) does not work anymore in 16.04. Anyone has another suggestion?

Open playonlinux and select the Word shortcut, then click configure. Go to the 'Miscellaneous' tab, and in the 'Command to exec before run' textbox, enter: XMODIFIERS="" You can keep the keyboard entry method on IBus. Repeat for other office apps links. it works on ubuntu 16.10 also.

In French it is on "Divers"/"Commande à effectuer avant de lancer le programme", pour les différentes applis, "Word",Excel", ...

Thanx X0RR0, that solved my problem!
