Hi,
I want to be able to insert accented chars, like àáäèéëìíïòóöùúü by
means of the keyboard.
I've googled and spent several hours trying to figure out how, but
with no result.
The above accented chars I've entered with KCharSelect but that's not
very convenient if you use them a lot.
I've read something about dead keys, but don't know how to use them.
The settings in 'Control Center - Keyboard Layout' are:
Keyboard model: Generic 104-key PC
Layout: US English
Keymap: us
Layout variant: default
I've tried various settings, but with no result.
Although Dutch is my native language, I like US English to stay the
default language on my system.
I prefer eg. US 'Cancel' over NL 'Annuleren' or US 'File' over NL
'Bestand' etc.
/etc/locale.gen reads:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15
When I type locale in a console, the output is:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Any help appreciated, Manon.
hi manon,
if you are using KDE:
do in a konsole :
kcontrol
go to Regional & Accessability
and then to
Keyboard Layout.
enable keyboard layouts,
and if you use an U.S English keyboard
activitate with a mouse-click U.S. English
down at the same column (kolom )
click on layout variant and change that variant into:
intl
hope this helps,,
greetings,
groet,
steef
