I have this handy xmodmap keycode 26 = e E schwa EuroSign keycode 33 = p P U20B1 keycode 57 = n N ntilde Ntilde keycode 113 = Mode_switch Multi_key
just put it in a file and run xmodmap xmodmap.file or xmodmap -e "keycode 33 = p P U20B1" your keycode may be different also you may need a unicode locale and fonts supporting the peso sign like gentium, dejavu sans, etc. On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 3:48 PM, Slim Joe <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2008/12/16, Rafael wrote: >> I've been playing around with the compose key and it seems to be neat >> enough for those times when you want to type stuff such as á and other >> stuff that doesn't appear on a normal US-layout keyboard.
