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. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm
