Hi all,
I'm using the SLED 10, which uses Gnome.
As I regularly wrote documents/emails in italian, french, english and spanish, on WinXP I use combinations of Alt-0123 to produce the variours characters or accents I need.
I would like to configure a similar behaviour on my SLED but, having a look at the keyboard configuration options, it's not clear to me which one to use (the help documentation talks about meta, super, hyper, .. and I've now idea what it's all about).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gael
Usually you can define one key as the 'compose' key. With this compose key, you can compose special letters with sequences that are fairly intuitive, e.g.: <compose>+' a will give á <compose>+` will be à <compose>+^ E will be Ê <compose>+, c will be ç <compose>+~ n will be ñ ... the <compose> key can be mapped to several keys. Meta is often one of the <Alt> keys, super can be one of the win keys, etc. Try to set it to meta or super and try one of the sequences above trying to use the ctrl, alt, altgr, win-keys as the control key.
