# v0.2.5 — International input

> Part of the [Typoena macro plan](macroplan.md). Requirements and targets:

**Status:** DONE in core, **hardware-verified 2026-07-11** (typed ç é è ñ on the
bench, no crash). US-International dead-key accent composition lives in the
`keymap` crate — a `Composer` downstream of the decoder — wired into
`usb_kbd.rs` so the editor still receives a single `Key::Char`. Builds on the
[v0.2](v0.2-navigation.md) UTF-8-correct buffer and the ISO-8859-15 render font.
Host-tested.

- [x] Dead keys — grave, acute, circumflex, diaeresis, tilde — compose with
      the next letter: à é ê ë ñ, ç (via `'`+c), both cases
- [x] `'`+space emits a literal apostrophe (the everyday apostrophe path); a
      dead key followed by a non-composing letter emits the accent then the
      letter
- [x] A non-character event (Enter, Backspace, arrows) flushes any pending
      accent as its literal first
- [ ] ~~Pending-accent indicator in the side-panel status strip~~ — **DROPPED
      (2026-07-11 decision):** at typing speed it would be stale before the
      ~630 ms panel repaint, so it conveys nothing. Left unbuilt on purpose.
- [x] Bonus (2026-07-11): the physical **Esc key** (HID 0x29) now types
      `` ` ``/`~` — Esc comes from the Caps tap — so grave/tilde accents and
      Markdown code fences are reachable on a 60% board without a Fn layer.
