Hi,
I have a thinkpad X24 with british keyboard running openbsd and my shell
is ksh.
I am trying to get dead keys working for accents e.g. entering "'" + "a"
to get "a" and it doesn't work. I don't have any LC* environment
variable set, I can see accents in a text file when doing cat <file>.txt
on the terminal (mlterm, xterm) or reading the files with an editor.
These are the relevant configuration files:
/etc/wsconsctl.conf
.....
keyboard.encoding=uk
.....
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
.....
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "thinkpad"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
Option "XkbOptions" "eurosign:e,ctrl:swapcaps"
EndSection
.....
I have tried reading mailing lists, FAQs, man pages and I cannot find a
solution to the problem. Also the pound sign is not working however that
is less of an issue.
I have references of people who got accents working in the terminal
using bash, however will that propagate to other applications like text
editors? if that is the case I would have to change to bash.
Any help appreciated,
thanks,
Juan.
