           Summary: add conversion of national characters on the fly
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.44.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins at wp.pl


The problem is that I use some apps that require input of polish characters. I
can type of course characters from a to z, but to get letters like
óęąłśżć I have to press for example alt+a alt+o alt+l etc.
Since the ó character is "international" also (not solely polish) I manage to
input this one. But the rest of them are ignored (*).

(*) I don't know if the keystroke is ignored, or the character the keystroke
creates is ignored

Some thoughts:
a) it would be good to being able to input (for example) polish characters in
the way described above
b) but alternative exists -- conversion on the fly, this means I would press
keys that creates polish characters in linux and such character is converted
(user should specify source and target charset encoding) and put into windows
app

I don't know if wine uses xkb layout for keys, it seems it does not, so it is
hard to tell for me what would be the best solution to add just a miminal
complexity.
