I don't want to change keyboard layouts, which isn't needed with Gvim. I booted into Mandriva 10 Spring, which I have on another partition but don't use except for testing stuff occasionally, & got it to work there : SystemSettings -> C/R + Language -> KeyboardLayout -> Advanced -> Compose key position -> Left Ctl ; Kwrite complies : 'Ctl c ,' -> 'ç' . KDE System Settings in my usual Gentoo system doesn't show C/R+Language, but offers the Compose-key options under Hardware -> Keyboard -> Advanced. I don't have the whole of KDE installed, only what I need to support the apps I use, so perhaps there's a pkg I need to add. Does anyone have further suggestions ? Thanks for those offered so far. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
