Well, in the Netherlands almost everyone uses a US keyboard. I don't
think I can remember when I last saw a Dutch keyboard, if ever. If
I need a é or an ë, which are about the only accented characters we
use, I use the compose key. Which isn't on the keyboard either, so
it's application dependant. In vim it's ctrl-k.
That kind of sucks. Is there a standard compose key in X?
[clickety click trying out all kinds of keys combo's]
Wait, on my 104-key kbd the right windows key acts as a compose key!
Hmm, I can compose almost any accented character with it, except,
ofcourse, a Euro symbol .. would have expected that under e= but
it doesn't work.
My head hurts ..
Mike.
