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.

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 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.
