That's ridiculous. And if you don't have a Windows keyboard--I don't-- I have about 3 old IBM kb's--then where are you? Anything that complicated must have a simpler solution. If I were a programmer, I would program the simpler solution to be the same as the WordStar keys under DOS. --doug At 09:16 07/16/2002 -0400, zentara wrote:

Don't remember exactly where to look to find what your "compose" key is, someone here probably remembers better than I do. And you can of course define your own "compose" key.
Usually from the keyboard, you do your "compose" key or keys and then the needed keys to get your character. In SuSE 8.0, the default "compose" key combo is left-shift, left-Ctrl and then the right Windows key. I think that same combination is good in 7.3 also. Release those, then press the keyboard combo to get your character. Like this for a degrees sign, compose key, 0 then shift 6 and that will give you 98°, if you like. Or compose key, u key then double quotes, which gives you this ü or ë or ä, using e & a keys. ¿How is that? :o)
On my 7.2 system, the compose key is <right-shift><right-control>, then the key combination. ü â etc.
