Problem with accentuation and cedilla in notes

Hi!

The notes field does not recognize accentuation characters such as "á "or cedilla "ç" (examples: "O dia est’ lindo", "corac’ao"; it should be "O dia está lindo", "coração") in notes, but it does recognize them in the comments field on annotations.

Any clues on how to solve this?

I am using a Mac.
  • What do you mean by "does not recognize"? Zotero notes fully support Unicode.
  • For instance, I press "'" followed by "c" on notes and it does not recognize as "ç" (like it worked here now), although in comments it recognizes.

    I'm not sure what method you're referring to.

    On a Mac you can get a cedilla by pressing Option-C. Newer macOS versions introduced a way to do that by pressing and holding the letter key itself — I'm not sure off-hand (and can't test at the moment) if that works in the new note editor.

    I'm not aware of any built-in method that works like you're describing. The note editor isn't a standard text field, though, so it's not unexpected that something might not work there. The Option-based combinations will always work everywhere.
  • I'm facing the same issue as @hestellita .

    I tried the keyboard configuration "Brasileiro - Pro" in my mac and it had the exact same behaviour as described: when trying to use accentuation in the normal path for the Macbook Pro keyboard (keystroke for < " and ' >, then the desired vowel key for accentuation or < C > for cedilla) it doesn't work. In some cases, with a specific timing stroking both keys, it worked, but it's not the expected for this keyboard.

    Then I tried using the ABNT configuration and it worked normally as expected. This makes me think this issue is related to a bad configuration of the Macbook Pro keyboard in Zotero.
