Solved anyway. The "one thing" that appears to control this is the Keyboard widget available in the ibar. Adding that shows me three settings (us, gb, ie), and it was set to gb. Setting it to ie makes the "correct" set of characters available with AltGr. The other myriad settings of keyboard and language and locale appear to have no noticeable effect on anything, but this one widget does the job. ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
