Spanish upside down "?" with Finnish keyboard?
Hello I am happily using Suse 8.1 (KDE3) but I need to practice my Spanish. I was glad to note that [AltGr]-1 produced the Spanish questionmark upside down, but unfortunately [AltGr]-+ is reserved for "\" (the key next to "0" in the top row, 2 left from backspace). Is there another way to do that with Finnish QWERTY layout and if not, how to fix the X/KDE keyboard mapping to do that? Cheers, -- --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-(

Well, I don't have a Finnish keyboard, but maybe this might help you try and figure it out anyway. On a US keyboard w/9950-3 option enabled in the KDE control center, the key combination is as follows: 1.push/release the "windows" key to the right of the space bar. 2.push/hold "shift" 3.push/release the ?/ key two times (while still holding shift) 4.release "shift" ¿Qué pasa? maybe that will help some -jeric -- JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork 9:07pm up 16 days, 21:53, 11 users, load average: 0.91, 0.43, 0.32

Nada. Absolutemente nada. I am lucky enough to own a good old keyboard without those irritating Win-keys. After fidling with KDE-Control Panel and setting the keyboard to "non-winkeys" mode, everything is now hunky-dory. The question mark upside down is pruduced by pressing [AltGr-Shift-PlusSign]. I tested it with another box with Suse 8.1 with Winkeys and the [AltGr-Shift-PlusSign] works, too. ¿Que pasa, tio? ¡Escribo Español! Thank you for all who answered. --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-(
