Hi Stéphane,

If you are on Debian GNU/Linux and using KDE:

In KDE you can go to "Control Center > Regional & Accessibility >
Keyboard Layout" and click on the "Xkb Options" tab on the right hand
side. If you check "Enable xkb options" you can fine-tune the behavior
of many keys. Scroll down a bit and you will see "Compose Key Position"
with about 5 options. Select one of them, e.g. "Right Win-key is
compose" and you can do things like this:

press <compose key> then " then a = ä
press <compose key> then ' then a = á
press <compose key> then / then o = ø
press <compose key> then o then a = å
press <compose key> then ^ then o = ô
press <compose key> then s then s = ß
press <compose key> then , then c = ç
press <compose key> then ~ then n = ñ
press <compose key> then / then c = ¢

etc.

I suppose there must  be a similar way for other Linux distro's and other
DE's like Gnome etc.
It works system wide and works fine for me using OOo Writer 2.0. I use it
all the time.
With thanks to Florian Kulzer, who once explained this to me.

Greetings, Manon.
