Kaixo!
Compose works very well (it is by default on the key at the right of the
AltGr key; I don't know if that is a key with a small window or with
a small menu printed on it, I have a sticker on those keys :)
Well with that key (called Multi_key in X), you can type almost anything
in an easy to remember way. All latin accented letters, by pressing one
after the other:
<Multi_key>, <some letter>, <some "accent">
<some letter> being any of a,A,b,B,c,C,...z,Z
and <some "accent"> being one of:
<apostrophe> for the acute accent
<grave> ("backquote") for the grave accent
<colon> (:) for diaeresis
<quotedbl> (") for the double acute accent
<greater> (>) for the circumflex accent
<less> (<) for the caron
<comma> for the cedilla
<semicolon> for the ogonek
<0> for the ring above
<period> for the dot above
<unerline> for the dot below or the comma below (under 't' and 's' for the
romanian letters)
<slash> for the diagonal-barred letters (o and l)
<minus> for the macron (over wowels) or an horizontal slash (for h, t)
<asciitilde> (~) for the tilde
<parenleft> for the breve
"ae" and "oe" can be typed with <Multi_key> <a> <e> and <Multi_key> <o> <e>
for uppercase ones "AE", "OE" the same but with uppercase.
aring (�) and schwa (a sort of refversed e) can be typed with
<Multi_key> <a> <a> and <Multi_key> <e> <e> respectively
quotes can be typed the same way,
Multi_key + < + < --> �
Multi_key + > + > --> �
try also (you need to be under an utf-8 locale to see them):
Multi_key + " + >
Multi_key + > + "
Multi_key + < + "
Multi_key + " + <
Multi_key + ' + >
Multi_key + > + '
Multi_key + < + '
Multi_key + ' + <
Multi_key + ( + c --> �
Multi_key + ( + r --> �
Multi_key + T + M --> TM sign
etc.
The combinations available depend on the locale; on an UTF-8 locale
you can type them all.
do a "grep '^<Multi_key>' /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/xxxx/Compose" for the full
list; with xxxxx being "iso8859-15" is you are in an iso-8859-15
locale, "iso8859-2" for an iso-8859-2 locale, etc; and "en_US.UTF-8"
for an UTF-8 locale.
To know the encoding of your locale, type "locale charmap" on the
command line.
Note that it is also those Compose files that define what dead keys can
do (eg lines like: <dead_acute> <a> : "�" aacute)

description:
I installed Mandrake with "Nederlands" (Dutch) as the default language. It then
suggests
a few keyboards, and the default choice annex suggestion is "US International"; this
is
incorrect, our default keyboard is "US".
