If your keyboard layout does not produce the superscript numbers via AltGr then you have the option to define a "Multi_key" which allows you to "compose" characters from sequences of key presses. This gives access to many more characters then any one keyboard layout provides directly. The superscript numbers 0-9 are produced by pressing the Multi_key, then "^" and then the number that you want (release each key before pressing the next one in the sequence). The Multi_key is set up by adding, e.g., "compose:rwin" to your XkbOptions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This would make the right Windows key the compose key; for other possibilities see the output of: grep -i compose /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst If you want to try out the Multi_key behavior without changing your Xorg configuration then you can add the option while X is running like this: setxkbmap -option compose:rwin A comprehensive list of compose sequences can be found in /usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose where $LANG is your locale, e.g. en_US.UTF-8. (If I encounter a character whose compose sequence I do not know then I simply copy it into a unicode-capable terminal and build a grep search through that file around it.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
