I think that's the way I want to go. How do you do this with Ubuntu? I'm been playing with the keyboard layout settings/options (System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout Tab ...) and I've added the Keyboard Indicator applet to the panel. Aha! Now I can switch and type the other characters. Right clicking on the applet and chosing Show Current Layout is very nice. I can see where the umlaut characters are. Vielen dank and Grüße aus Michigan. How's that for butchered German? :) Regards, - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
