You might also want to map the 'Multi_key' to a key of your keyboard (in my case, RAlt, keycode 113); this would make the key a 'dead key': press it, press the modifier and finally press the letter. Alright, that makes 3 keys for one character; but it allows you to make a lot of other characters.

Attached is my skdvorak keymap. I store it as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/skdvorak. You will have to change the keycodes (e.g. ) to the ones matching us keymap (mine match "us(dvorak)"): look into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, or whatever, to learn them. Or more simply, just copy the us keymap and

Good way is to start with your default plain keymay ("us" usually, but I use "usdvorak") and map (RAlt + $letter) to an accented $letter. I think it's much better than any other way for using accented characters. ...especially when you're writing in TeX in your native language. Dunno what idiot inv
