Configure your keyboard as having layout us_intl and you should type those
things as "+u.
The only problem with us_intl as I see it is that if you type, say, ~ and
then want to type / (like in the command line "cp bla ~/doc/"), then it is
annoying that you have to type the tilde, then a space and then the slash.
Otherwise, it won't work.
It would be *much* more convenient if one didn't have to type that space.
I'm adding debian-user to the Cc: in the event that somebody there knows a
solution to the problem that I have described. Perhaps Branden knows the
answer?
Anyway, hope this helps, Rogério Brito.
P.S.: Despite I living in a country where my mother tongue needs lots of
accents, a good portion of the keyboards sold here has the US layout and
us_intl is indeed quite important at least here in Brazil.
