When I try to remap umlaut german keys I get:
german ä": The output_symbol "ä" is not a macro and not a valid keycode-name"

I've tried with key_ä and symbol:ä, not working

logs

  1. input-remapper-control --version
    input-remapper 2.0.1 https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper
    python-evdev 1.6.1

  2. which linux distro (ubuntu 20.04, manjaro, etc.)
    Fedora release 39 (Thirty Nine)

  3. echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
    wayland

  4. which desktop environment (gnome, plasma, xfce4, etc.)
    gnome + hyprland as window manager

  5. sudo ls -l /proc/1/exe
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 17 21:06 /proc/1/exe -> /usr/lib/systemd/systemd

  6. paste the affected preset .json file from ~/.config/input-remapper-2/presets

  7. sudo pkill -f input-remapper-service && input-remapper-gtk -d, apply the preset and hit your key. Then share that log.

I managed to get this setting the compose key in system settings to ALT_R.
German Ä can be made with ALT_R + Shift_R + KEY_APOSTROPHE + A
