dead keys and X11
I have successfully installed Debian Linux but a small problem remains. It may
be related to the compose problem for which I haven't seen an answer.
When using the X windows system, dead keys don't work... well applications
receive an event like dead_acute and have to handle them. With Emacs, that
is not a big problem, but I can't do it for xterms... It would not be annoying
if the tilde (~) wasn't a dead key on my keyboard.
For now, I've remapped the dead_tilde (I'm not sure of the name, it may be
dead_asciitilde) to the tilde character with xmodmap, but it is a work around
which is against all my automatisms :(
So if somebody could help me, I would be gratefull.
If other people have the problem and are interested with my solution for
Emacs, I could mail them my site-start.el
On a related matter, I've modified the be-latin1-map to correct some annoying
errors and add the handling of more meta symbols (yes, I use Emacs a lot). If
someone is interrested, I could mail it.
