Has anyone successfully used staroffice 6.0 and been able to insert special characters on Mandrale 8.2?
I used to do this in Mandrake 8.1/Open Office by using xmodmap to make my right alt key be the Alt_GR key. It worked fine. Here are the differences I've noticed about trying it with Mandrake 8.2 1. I can't do that in either OpenOffice 641c or staroffice 6.0 2. I can't set a key to be Alt_GR, but apparently (according to the help pages in staroffice 6.0) I should set it to Mode_switch. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Fixed it? The steps I have tried, as outlined in the staroffice help pages are... export SAL_ALTGR_COMPOSE=true xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch" and after checking the output of xmodmap -pk, the correct mapping has been set. But for some reason, pressing the right alt key and then the 2 key sequence for the unicode characters does not work like in did with Mandrake 8.1. Please respond directly to me as I am not subscribed. Sincerely, Ryan
