I run the Gnome session manager on a Debian sid machine attached to a US keyboard. When I am writing in English, which is most of the time, that's fine. But I also often write in German and occasionally in French. Is there a way to produce the standard accented characters (at least in Gnome applications) using keyboard combinations?
I'm very tired of mousing up to the little gnome character pallet utility every few words when write a multi-page document. I'd like to be able to do something like ALT-" + O to produce an umlauted O. By the way, Windows has had this feature nailed down pat for about the last decade. Same key combinations, doesn't depend on the window manager, session manager, or application. Amazing. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
