I didn't have anything checked on the 'compose' key option of the Xkb tab, but never had any problems using other layouts with accented characters. e.g. I often use the spanish and french layouts which I'm fairly familiar with, so to write é, I simply type (assuming the keyboard itself has an english layout) the double quotes followed immediately by the letter e. I guess using a 'compose' key would help in cases where you're not familiar with a keyboard layout (as in my current case!). But what do you do when a letter can have more than one type of accent? I'd imagine you use your script below. > ...and so on. I have this handy shellscript that lets me paste a letter from > KCharSelect, and it will show the key combo to enter it: The problem is that I can't even find the polish accented characters in KCharSelect. I haven't looked at all the fonts, but doing that everytime I need to find a character seems extremely inefficient to me. Do you use KCharSelect in a better way? Your script looks great for other cases where I /can/ find the character! Thanks once again, -- Sebastian P. Luque -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
