Ok. The problem seems to be that xte assumes a US keymap. When I use AltGr combinations, xte sees and sends the characters I would have gotten with a US keyboard mapping: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Devel/Xautomate$ xte key $ ¤ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Devel/Xautomate$ xte str @£$ Unable to resolve keysym for '£' Unable to resolve keysym for '£' " ¤ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Devel/Xautomate$ xte str æøå Unable to resolve keysym for 'æ' Unable to resolve keysym for 'æ' Unable to resolve keysym for 'ø' Unable to resolve keysym for 'ø' Unable to resolve keysym for 'å' Unable to resolve keysym for 'å' It does not matter whether I call xte from a terminal or from a Perl script. -- Herman Robak
