Sorry for not being more explicit, Tom ! I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 - «Edgy» on an ancient 32-bit machine....

You say 'When I was using XP.' Does this mean you are using a different OS now? If so which?

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* ?...
