Hello Marco,
I asked pretty much the same time ago and the answer was to use the HTML escape codes. You should type an inverted slash \ followed by the escaped character code, that is: & l d q u o ; for inverted commas â & r a r r ; for a right arrow â etc. For French quotes they are: & r a q u o ; and & l a q u o ; I've added blanks between the letters in order to avoid rendering of the characters in this very message. You should type the code altogether and the special character will appear after you type the last character of the code. Bests Marco Cevoli

So I installed /UK International keyboard/ from http://www.zolid.com/uk-intl-kb/index.htm and that seems to do the trick, using [Alt Gr + [] and [Alt Gr +]] from: Now I'm heading back to Arch Linux, and my main desktop PC, as soon as possible. Hope this helps someone.

For those on windoze I highly recommend getting into AutoHotKey; in fact now I'm on Linux I really miss it, wish the Linux version had gained a bit more traction, one of the VERY few things causes me any nostalgia for windoze. ================== Hi Udo have you tried [Shift + Alt Gr]>> for « and [Shift + Alt Gr]<< for «. Works OK on my Arch Linux system. :) John On 01/21/2015 08:40 PM, Udo Weik wrote: Hello, I need guillemets/angle quotes in my text, see Guillemet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemet The corresponding Windows keystrokes are [Alt+0187] for '»' and [Alt+0171] for '«' but Zim doesn't support [ALT+NumpadNumber]. And I can't use the Symbol dialog, because I use automation for inserting these symbols. Any hints? Many thanks and greetings Udo
