Sorry to ask a maybe too simple question, but does anyone know how to (find the information how to..) assign "fast keys" to special characters that you could select yourself? For example I need letters like i, e, and a with umlauts frequently for writing Dutch. I can just patiently open the "insert" - "special characters" menu and select one, but I can't turn the unicode-code which is also mentioned on the right side, for every character, into a 'fast key' like Ctrl + Shift + F1 or whatever, or just use the coding itself.

As you are using SCIM anyway to input Korean, why not use it to input the Dutch special characters as well? You can use the M17N-t-latn-pre input method for that. Install scim-m17n, m17n-lib, m17n-db, libotf, and workcut. Restart your X11 session. 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). SCIM also has a "raw code" input method where you can insert the unicode code point. 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. You can also use compose to input these characters. "compose" is also supported by SCIM, to use it while SCIM is running, switch the SCIM panel of (default Hotkeys "Shift+Space" or "Control+Space"). The Compose Keybindings for the Characters you mentioned are: Multi_key " i -> ï Multi_key " e -> ë Multi_key " a -> ä The default binding for Multi_key on SuSE Linux is Shift+RightControl. For a complete list of compose keybindings see: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
