Okay, I get what you mean by accent keys now - so trying to produce a normal single quote for example in RPCEmu and having to hold down Alt-Gr? But it works fine outside of the emulator? That's strange.
I had a look at RPCEmu's keyboard handling code a bit. It uses scancodes/keycodes and its own translation tables (explains why setting US layout in Windows didn't make any difference). The codes on Linux (X11) aren't raw scancodes apparantly as they can be altered by the host to take account of different keyboard layouts, but if this is sometimes a problem on Windows as well, then that's probably not relevant. I don't know why, say, a single quote would be treated as such in the host but as a dead key by RPCEmu but it could be a Qt bug. Input-handling doesn't seem to be one of its strong-points. Did you have the same problem in 0.8.15?

He wrote about the " and ' keys, which are essentially accent keys. He
also wrote '...pressing the key does not generate output.' which is the
same thing that's happening here when any of the accent keys are pressed
without AltGr. That's why I replied to him, suggesting he'd try the
AltGr route. As he hasn't responded yet, we can't be sure whether it is
the same issue or not yet, though.
