Console does not open on keyboards with dead keys

Hi, I'm a brazilian ruby web developer and I found this wonder that is Dragon Ruby to finally start on game developing world with the best programming language there is. Thank you.

But in Brazil we use the keyboard layout with dead keys, for we have accents (~ ^ ´ `) on top of some letters (à ã ê ú). When I try to open the console in a keyboard with dead keys (and that goes for brazilian keyboards of english keyboards with dead keys), it does not work.

I went to dragon/console.rb file in the contrib repo and tried all the keys in there and none of them worked. 

To use the console I have to change my layout to English - US, and then it works.

Can anyone help me to get around this? I may even contribute to the code if someone help me to find a key to be used.

I'm on PopOS! Linux by the way.

Thanks
