Hi there,
It seems that when using dead keys in TM2, the initial keypress of the dead key is interpreted as input. This creates a problem for functions like wrapping selected text (with parens or braces) because rather than wrapping the text with the appropriate character it replaces the selection with the dead key character.
An example: I use the semicolon followed by j for inserting a left paren. If I make a selection and do this, it replaces the selection with the semicolon.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Garrett Lancaster

Normally a dead-key adds a diacritics and the following key (letter) will be composed on-top of that diacritics mark.
Your use of dead keys seems more like multi-stroke key bindings. How did you set this up? How do you type a single semi-colon?
If you do setup e.g. semi-colon + J to insert a left-parent (via multi-stroke key bindings) TextMate should wrap the selection.
I'm interested in using multi-stroke key bindings. I understand I can them up in the bindings dictionary, but I'd love to be able to map bundle items to multi-stroke shortcuts. Is that possible? If not, I'd love to see that feature added.
