Thanks,

Would you know if there is a clear explanation of all these key
combinations and charsets? It blows my surviving brain cell everytime I
try to find my way through all of this. I have the feeling I am not the
only one.

Would it be hard to do like in windows, Alt + ascii code?

Alt pops up the Mandrake menu at the moment and this is annoying. I just
hope it is temporary.

I remember a bunch of people under unix keeping a web address or a text
file with all these special characters that they could copy-paste, so I
don't feel too ashamed ;-)
