Hi everybody
I am about to learn swedish, and I'd like to write my vocabulary in text
files. So far I use a german locale, and there is no direct keyboard
shortcut (I know of) for the å character (a with a small o above).
I'd like to bind AltGr+a for this character, but it it is already used
for æ (a melted with e), which I never used before. (what language
needs this sign, anyway? I only know of ½ (o melted with e) you
need in french).
How can I create this key binding? This must be defined somewhere in the
X config file jungle...
OK, thanks to the suggestion for MultiKey, but I myde my way through the
jungle myself and solved this the generic way: I have added to the file
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/de
key AD11 {[ udiaeresis, Udiaeresis ],
[ aring,Aring ] };
and I can now access å and Å by pressing AltGR+ü and AltGR+Shift+ü,
respectively.

Which reminds me Multi_key is sometimes called compose.

Which reminds me Multi_key is sometimes called compose. It depends on which keyboard you are using. In kde and I assume in other wms you can set up switchable language keyboards. I have just experimented with swedish and found å on windows-key+[ and æ on altgr+' . I haven't tried it yet on this machine (thinkpad).
