When I press ` ^ ¨ or ~ and then space keys in xterm, it ignores the
accents and puts a simple space. The same with composition of accented
characters like é. What worse is: this behaviour can change back to
normal and back to improper, and I have no clue as to upon exactly what?
Seems that sometimes just a change of focus to another window (xemacs)
is sufficient, and the accent keys get deprived of function.
It's a really dangerous problem. Imagine: I'd launch rm -f *
(instead of rm -f *~) and pop would go the weasel. Anyway it's darn
annoying.
The question is: How can I force proper handling of accent keys?
Preferably a method more elegant than a reboot.
