You can only make Pango layouts from UTF-8 encoded *strings*. So this does not make sense. In addition inserting something as you get key events does not work with input methods. That is it may be impossible to enter international text. > I also tried to use the function move_cursor_visually, but also this > doesnt work.

If these position are byte positions, then it works exactly as expected (ä is two bytes in UTF-8).
