Howdy all,
I am working with a minority language group (a spoken language, not a programming language :) ) which does not have language support of any kind in any platform. However, for the script we are using, all I need to be able to do is put 1 of 3 characters over the vowels - a right accent (don't know how to insert, as here it only goes straight down like this ' but I want it to go to the right), a grave accent `, and a carat ^.
Here are some examples I have cut and pasted from old data I typed in using microsoft office:
binoó - means piled tùpa - means to share equally lugtâ - means dirt or land
When I used windows, I installed the english international keyboard in the operating system, as this has those 3 characters. However, since I am trying to migrate over to suse linux, how can I do something comparable?
All I need to do is to be able to use the keyboard to enter the characters without having to take a mouse and clicking on an insert special character function when I type out data in a word processor like libre office, or when I enter text in a cell in a spreadsheet or database.
Thanks,
Which language do you work with and did you select for openSUSE installation? First of all, please confirm whether your language have been checked already or not at: YaST2 -> Software -> Software Management -> Change the 'Filter' to 'Languages' If your language is listed but not chosen yet, check it and install needed packages. Then, confirm scim-m17n or ibus-m17n is installed or not. If not, install one of either and required packages. Once *-m17n package will be installed, you will be able to select latn-pre or latn-post input method from SCIM or iBus and input accented characters with it. If you want to know haw to input accented characters with latn-pre or latn-post input method, refer to the tables in midst of the page: http://www.m17n.org/common/m17n-docs-en/m17nDBData.html Hope this helps.
