Changed blockquotes formatting to code sample, because it makes command output more readable.

When I am in a console (not terminal emulator) (after using Ctrl+Alt+F_, AltGr+key combinations are not working.

I am using a Czech keyboard layout which (as many layouts do) maps various special characters to AltGr+key combinations (sometimes called dead keys, I believe). For example I can write | by typing AltGr+w (AltGr is right-Alt).

This works perfectly in DE (in my case GNOME Shell), but doesn't in a Linux console. Any advice how to fix it? The Czech layout is missing many important keys (like >) so it's kinda impossible to work in terminal. I use Fedora 25 with latest updates.

EDIT: I've just tried it on my second PC with Fedora 25 (but upgraded from F24 and still using X11 instead of Wayland) and it works correctly..
