OS: Hackintosh Catalina 10.15.3
Shell: ZSH 5.7.1
I am using Italian keyboard layout.
Whenever i try to write characters such as '#', '@' that would normally require the combo
ALT GR + <key> , it does not work. I tried with default terminal from macOS and they do work. Any idea on how to fix this?

Don't have a solution but as a workaround you can press control+option / control+alt to get on the alt Graph layer. This is basically what the right alt key is mapped to when on an iso layout profile.

Still an issue on 1.2.0

OS: Big Sur 11.6

I’m using an alternate keyboard layout (BÉPO) and a lot of keys are hidden behind the Alt modifier (ex: {, }, &, |, _, …).

1.2.0 is a huge and awesome improvement but unfortunately still unusable in the current state 🙁

Well I tried modifying the source code, I cloned the osx-fixes branch and commented a couple lines about alt modifiers on qmltermwidget/lib/Vt102Emulation.cpp l.1108:

//if ( modifiers & Qt::AltModifier && !(wantsAltModifier || wantsAnyModifier)
//     && !event->text().isEmpty() )
//{
//    textToSend.prepend("\033");
//}

and now it works like a charm 👌, not sure about this special handling mentioned above in the code 🤷‍♀️.

But once I copy the compiled executable inside /Applications, the issue comes back with some character display issue, quite stange.

Well now that I can type everything in the terminal I’m happy 😄

Edit: I have to launch it from the terminal in order to not have the previously described bug.

I have compiled a build from the master branch with these fixes which so far has shown 0 issues. I have created a dmg file as well if anyone would like to use it.
