In my opinion, you are over-inflating it. I do it every day; all you need is one key configured as compose key (Multi_key in x.org parlance). Both the Linux console and X support that concept. I can imagine that a handicapped person would be challenged to type รป, because it requires three keys at the same time (compose-shift-6), but then sticky keys would address that (in X), I presume. Oh, and I just discovered that typing compose and shift-6 in sequence instead of together also works. So trouble gone, only max two keys at the same time, which is needed *all* the time when using a keyboard. So, even more, for a "normally constituted person", what's the trouble? It might cut down a bit on your wpm (words per minute), that is true. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
