Now that your point is clearer - not having keys with "{" and "}" - I think I have a better solution. First, press the Compose-key, also named Multi-key. In SuSE Linux, this is the right Ctrl-key. Do NOT keep holding down. Then type (- and you have { ! Same way: Compose -) gives }. Many other combinations are possible with the Compose key. Examples: Compose a e = æ Compose e ' = é For a Latin-1 environment, you will find them all listed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose Next, it is possible to assign Compose to another key. The Windows key, for example, if you have it, has the same position as the Option key of the Mac, with which I'm also used to type special characters. To find the code of this key, try xev. It'll probably be 115. In ~/.Xmodmap you see: keycode 0x6D = Multi_key 0x6D or 109 is the code for the right Ctrl key. Change 0x6D to 115 (or 0x73, which is the same) or the code of any other key, and this key will be your new Compose-key. (Have you ever thought the Windows key would be good for something one day!!!) :-> SH -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
