When I was using *XP* on my computer, *Word* (and to a lesser degree, even
other apps, like Gmail) permitted me to make use of a little table I had
prepared from the *Table de caractères Unicode*
<http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/> to write in certain graphs that weren't
immediately available on my (Norwegian) keyboard (to write Chinese and
Japanese, I used the language bar and the IMEs ; I now use SCIM), but to
which I could gain access by using the Alt key and the numpad keys (with Num
Lock *on*) to the right of the keyboard. To give an example of what I mean,
here below an excerpt from the table :

€ = Alt + 0128
¥ = Alt + 0165
Ç = Alt + 0199
ç = Alt + 0231
Ć = Alt + 0262
ć = Alt + 0263
Č = Alt + 0268
č = Alt + 0269

Some, like €, but by no means all of these are taken care of by Alt Gr +,
but I should very much like to have recourse to the others as well directly
from the keyboard, instead of having to open my list and cut and paste. Does
anyone know if it is possible to arrange OO.o so that Alt + numpad keys
would work as they do in *Windows*/*Word* ?...
