Hi; I didn't want to hi-jack someone else's thread with a question that is close to the 'Accented Characters' discussion but not quite the same. I want to bind some accented keys and symbols to a mnemonic keys using the left and/or right Super (Windows) key. I would like them to be universal; i.e. work in all, or at least most, applications in Linux. I have and use the compose key (Windows menu key). I use the <Ctrl><Shift>+U + number. But rather than having to remember a set of unicodes, I would like to bind either the key strokes (<Ctrl><Shift>+U + number ) or an equivalent command to <Super_L> + <key>. That way <Super_L> + < y > would give me ✔ ( a checkmark ) for example. In over two years of trying I have not found a way to bind equivalent keystrokes to what I consider a mnemonic key combination. In this case, Super_L = all Bill's modified keys and y = yes = checkmark. Maybe someone here can tell me how to solve this. I have tried the Gnome mailing list and forum two or three times over the last couple of years and gotten no helpful response. I am using Fedora Core 6; Gnome 2.16.3; OOo 2.0.4 -- Regards Bill
Bill, you and I seem to employ similar set-ups, save for the fact that I use Ubuntu Edgy where you use Fedora. I not absolutely sure that I fully understand what you're after, but if it's a series of mnemonic combinations using a self-chosen «auto-key» (I use Right Windows), why not try the list available on the page to which John M King kindly provided a link : http://andrew.triumf.ca/iso8859-1-compose.html. Might just possibly be what you're looking for !... Henri
