Is there a way to enable the use of special characters in SuSe, for only using the ALT-key combination of the character? This will also include k-mail. I know special characters can be "inserted" in the office apps, by using "Insert / "Special Character", and then selecting the appropriate character from the set. I want to use the alt-key combo as it is used in windows, for instance for the ê, the key combo is ALT+136.
The SUSE default setup is actually much better than Microsoft Windows. I'm attaching a sheet that shows how to get most of the special characters you are ever going to need direct from the keyboard, assuming you are using the default UTF-8. You need to view it using a Unicode(UTF-8)-enabled font, eg GNU Unifont. This was for SUSE 9.0, I think, but it has changed only minimally since. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
