Just like me. > If you do not want to distinguish between (for example) <TAB> and > `C-i', make just one binding, for the ASCII character <TAB> (octal code > 011).

But this line: (define-key global-map [(control \[)] [udiaeresis]) does not have any effect. :-( Maybe I just didn't understand it. > Xmodmap is cryptic.

I could then map like this: (define-key global-map [(super \[)] [udiaeresis]) Unfortunately I can only use that key when in emacs. I can't find how to make use of it in the shell, an xterm etc. Thanks anyway for your help!
