Accent/Apostrophe key stops working correctly after customizing the French keyboard with keys cafe

Hi,

I use the "French with accent" Samsung keyboard (the one where the apostrophe key also adds the correct accent depending on the previous letter). For example:

e + ’ = é

u + ’ = û (and holding the key shows more accents)

If it’s a consonant before, it stays a normal apostrophe.

On the default Samsung keyboard, everything works fine.

But as soon as I customize this keyboard with Keys Café (even without changing that key or the layout, just save the keyboard as it is), this special behavior disappears. The key just becomes a simple apostrophe and no longer applies accents.

I’ve already tried:

Re-selecting the French keyboard in settings

Updating Samsung Keyboard + Keys Café

Disabling predictive text

→ no improvement

So either it’s a bug, or Keys Café can’t handle this special key behavior.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

And does a workaround exist to keep this accent feature while still using a custom layout?

Thanks in advance.
