I have tried this on Ubuntu using the US international keyboard layout with dead keys.
When I press the grave key in an editor I don’t immediately get feedback on screen as the OS is waiting for a second key to compose the final character. It works the same for " and some additional keys.
I was however expecting to immediately get a SDL_KEYDOWN event with the scancode corresponding to the matching key of the US keyboard layout. GLFW gets this right. GLFW on the other hand fails to get quotation marks and other composed characters right, while SDL_TEXTINPUT is working exactly as I expected.
Is there a way to get immediate feedback regardless of the physical and virtual keyboard layout?
To add to this: the issue isn’t unique to the international US layout,
it also happens in the LA Spanish layout, though I had just attributed
it to just being X…

Have you tried the latest git version?
I think this issue has been fixed, see
