How to type German estzet ß using us-intl keyboard
I have the us-intl keyboard made available via the SUSE 10.0 KDE 3.5 Control Center > Regional > Keyboard Layout dialog. I can type the umlauted German characters by pressing the double quote and then the required vowel. But how do I type an estzet ß? And how do I type an ordinary single or double quote? Hitting single or double quote twice gives me ´ and ¨ rather than ' and ". Thanks.

Workaround: use a double s 'ss' instead, which is what many german usenet user do anyway (not to mention ae=ä ue=ü oe=ö et al) Peter

One of the reasons I gave up on the US Int layout, the extra key combinations. (my issue is similar but with Swedish) The answer you want is: Alt_R + s = ß In the keyboard layout chooser, where it has a ridiculously small image of a keyboard, you can stretch that window, and actually read all the keys (although, I am using GNOME). Maybe someone can enlighten us where a printable keyboard layout exists. Although I tend to use a Swedish Layout on a US keyboard, as I just found it easier, and then switch with button in the GNOME panel if doing something intricate (editing code with kboard layout that doesn't match the physical keyboard is a nightmare).

I test in my system (KDE 3.5) and was needed to type s two times, i.e., Alt_R + s + s.

I got it with one s, but I did not realize that Alt_R meant right-Alt. -- Penguin #395953 resides at http://samvit.org subsisting on SUSE Linux 10.0 with KDE 3.5 No penguins were harmed during the writing of this mail. Just a bunch of broken windows to let them escape...

I found you can print a keyboard layout using the xkbprint command. xkbprint :0 generates a file server-0.ps. I could not get it to print the more interesting, compose keys though.

To activate the compose keys, I add the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu,compose:ralt" I add it to the "InputDevice" Restart X I then do `dumpkeys|grep compose > keys.txt`. Then I open keys.txt and first remove the ones I won't need. Then I will try the ones that are left and remove those that do not work. Next I look if there are doubles, like: compose '-' 'a' to 'ª' compose '-' 'A' to 'ª' I then remove the doubles and the rest that is left, I print out and hang it on my screen ¹²³ ¥øù Å®ê ÐÕñ3¡ houghi -- Wiker's Law: Government expands to absorb revenue and then some.

Compose s s Use 'xmodmap -pke | grep -i multi_key' to find out where compose is. Or roll your own .Xmodmap. I use a US-Layout with a lot of chars on the 3rd and 4th level (AltGr/Mode_switch (+ Shift)) and the rest of latin9 is reacheable via Compose. If you're interested, I can mail you my ~/.Xmodmap. Of course[0], KDE sabotages you, like Windows, so you have to load your .Xmodmap after KDE has started. -dnh, not using KDE since 1.1.2 *scnr* [0] I'm not sure about recent KDE versions though. -- Sigmonster was here!

I have heard of this third/fourth level etc. What are they? I do not have an AltGr key on my keyboard bought here in India. What is the substitute?

Well, I have been using KDE ever since my first forays into Linux many years ago and my recent 95% conversion to SUSE. Am proudly using KDE 3.5 and doing my little bit to improve KDE. :) -- Penguin #395953 resides at http://samvit.org subsisting on SUSE Linux 10.0 with KDE 3.5

Alt-Gr is the right ALT key. So you most likely do have it, it is just not marked as such. houghi -- Ask Not for whom the Bell Tolls, and You will Pay only the Station-to-Station rate.
