it should work with this:

Anyway, I'm not sure if it does for german. For an italian keyboard some stuf works, some don't.

I also have a question related to german keyboards_ Why does irb
terminate without any further message when I include some german
umlauts (öäüÖÄÜß) which are _not_ in quotes?
e/www/plenz,0% irb
"ä"
=> "\344"
ä
[terminates]

Same problem here on Win2K, even though I haven't noticed it before (thanks Julius). Maybe one should just use english identifiers? (not an extremely bad idea anyway IMHO). Just to clarify things, I have readline more or less working except for the occasional segfault, and I can type etc with Alt+Gr just fine. Irb does not terminate immediately after entering an Umlaut, only after pressing return.

I couldn't reproduce (*), and then I realized I have RUBYOPT=-Ku.
unsetting RUBYOPT made irb behave as you describe.
(*) the output being:
>> ä

from (irb):1

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one
instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.

There was some talk about this some time ago, maybe looking in the archive will find answer (wich I can't remember 
)
