@ianthetechie Well, dealing with tiny memory spaces is also not quite an excuse, people using non english languages still exist, and English is by far not the most effective, when you see translation projects of old game roms for japanese games, often what they struggle with is to fit the english translation into the text space of the rom.
Yeah, the weird thing is that atom was written in javascript as well, so it's very weird, it kind of felt like it had something to do with the input loop, that they just never expected that someone could input a letter that wasn't on their keyboard, or something like that. But I don't really know what it was.
I know that is the case with multiple neo-vim frontends at least, that they just have all keys on an ANSI american keyboard handeled, and puke when anything else is tried.
