>ISO_Level3_Shift AKA AltGr Either that is explicitly set somewhere, or you are using a keymap (e.g. US_Intl) that includes it. It should let you type stuff like áéæ©ñµ (altgr+ a, e, z, c, n, m respectively), or possibly it is a compose key (e.g. hold altgr and press a and then e = æ) or a dead key (altgr+a, let go, press e = æ). >Wait, even on the console outside of x-windows it's that way! What's going on? On modern setups, X and the Console can share a common keyboard config. (/etc/default/keyboard with the console-setup package) Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
