I have no clue about dead keys, never had any use for them anyway, but on Plan 9(and I think p9p) you certainly don't need them, you can enter all the german/french/spanish chars(and a few more) easily from an US keyboard layout, see keyboard(6) for details.
This is another wonderful Plan 9 feature that I miss every time I have to use some other idiotic system where I need to figure out how to change the damned keymap just to enter a few characters from another language, on Plan 9 they are all on your finger tips, from mathematical symbols to chess pieces(!), and including greek, latin cyrillic alphabets. Look around /lib/keyboard and have fun finding out how to type characters you didn't even know existed in Unicode. As for azerty, I know a few people that uses azerty with Plan 9, and I can't think why it should be any problem, unlike vi, Plan 9 apps make no assumptions about keyboard layout. uriel On 1/19/07, thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
my 2 ¢: every editor lets me type in german or french with an azerty keyboard but acme: it has no support for dead keys -- blöd/bête. (That is way more annoying as the lack of syntax highlighting to me.)
