Re: [Dorset] Help with foreign versions of letters
What about charmap(1), aka gucharmap and gnu-character-map ? Works for me, though tedious and slow, for most varieties of the Latin alphabet; but users who need to write continuous Norwegian (etc) text on English keyboards will not be happy . -- John Palmer Preston near Weymouth, Dorset, England e-mail: jo...@bcs.org.uk website: http://www.palmyra.me.uk/ -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-06-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
Re: [Dorset] Help with foreign versions of letters
I can type ö by pressing AltGr+[, then letting go, then pressing 'o'. If you press AltGr+[ twice then it will show you just the combining character it'll add, eg: ¨. There's lots of other combining and otherwise useful characters around that area of the keyboard you can use with AltGr or AltGr+Shift. Unlike any other key combination, you have to hold AltGr first, then Shift - you can't hold Shift first. AltGr+; e = é AltGr+Shift+0 = ° You can enter any Unicode code-point (in most programs) by pressing Ctrl+Shift+U then typing the Unicode code-point number in hex. For Ø or ø you can use U+00D8 or U+00F8. (You don't need to type the leading zeros.) -- Andrew.

[Dorset] Help with foreign versions of letters
Hi can anyone advise how I get foreign (Norwegian) variants of letters in UK linux? I need the o with two dots and the o with a line through it. Of course it could be a limitation of my family history program (Gramps) that it doesn't like Alt 0248.

That is it exactly. First identified on 14th September and investigated back then, but on 7th April it was reported by at least one tester that 'that is harder than I known.

Perhaps I should have realised that the program would be in Github Your request to log out will give all the programs an opportunity to learn of it and perhaps block it. It seems Clementine doesn't handle that protocol too well. It used to be OK, so something that was introduced sometime last year (perhaps not in Clementine, but in the underlying desktop in Plasma) is causing this. -- Terry Coles Hi Terry If you like Clementine as your media player have a look at Strawberry which is a fork of Clementine, it works for me. https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/ Tim H -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-06-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
