-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Mike FABIAN [mailto:mfabian@suse.de] Verzonden: do 23-6-2005 23:51 Aan: hermanmeester CC: m17n@suse.com Onderwerp: Re: [m17n] unusual characters in OOo "hermanmeester" <hermanmeester@hetnet.nl> Now, if you select the M17N-t-latn-pre input method in the SCIM panel, you can get these Dutch characters by typing "i -> ï "e -> ë "a -> ä (left side is what you type, right side is what is inserted, for a complete list of the key-combinations offered by the M17N-t-latn-pre input method, have a look at the file /usr/share/m17n/latn-pre.mim). ***That is a good method. It is what I was used to when I still worked with M$ Windows years ago, but instinctively you like to type " + e(or a, o, u) to get ë, ä, ö, ü. Or, other systems may use : + e, a, o, etcetera. As you use German yourself, Mike, if I may assume that, you need to use the "Umlauted" vowels much more. Which input method do you use if I may ask? I mean, you'd surely want a lot of shortcut keys, don't you? SCIM also has a "raw code" input method where you can insert the unicode code point. ***I like that one too, you need a fine memory though, but I have to remember 4 numbers for my bank pass as well ;-) In the SCIM setup dialog, you can define hotkeys to switch between input methods. I.e. you may define key combinations to switch between your favorite Korean input method and the M17N-t-latn-pre input method. ***I'll take a look at that. One question, does the SCIM setup menu differ for different (SuSE) Linux versions? I have a feeling I can't discover all the possibilities you mention. regards, herman
