Sorry, I don't understand.  What I mean is that you press the AltGr key (the 
key just to the right of the spacebar) at the same time as the other key 
given (if there is one), and then release them, and then type the required 
letter.  For instance, to get é (e acute), I hold down the AltGr key and the 
colon/semicolon key together, then release them, then press the e key.  To 
get ŵ (w circumflex), I hold down the AltGr key and the @ key together, then 
release them, then press the w key.  Obviously, this is using an en-GB 
keyboard - the actual character on your key may differ if you are using a 
different keyboard layout.  But experiment by pressing similar combinations 
of keys, and see what you get.  So far as I know, this isn't actually 
documented anywhere, so I suppose it should go on the openSUSE wiki.
