how do i get this ~ on top the n for spanish words?
I use an american keyboard, but still I can do ç ñ ø è etc. I configured the multikey (known as Compose key on Suns) like this in .Xmodmap:
keycode 129 = Multi_key
Then you want to replace the 129 with the key you want to assign it to. Maybe a good use of the Windows keys? To find out the keycode of the key you want, you use the program 'xev'. Another key that can be used could be the right CTRL key.
Is this different in Linux than in DOS/Windows? Ever since Wordstar, in almost every program, ñ is produced by holding alt and pressing 164 in sequence on the number keypad. (I've just done exactly that.) I kind of figured it was built into the BIOS. Please advise, as I have a whole stable of oddball characters for German, Italian, and Spanish, as well as degree symbols, etc. (Since I'm in the Windows world right now, I can't test it.) If it is not different, I can send the whole file to the group. --doug
