I have tried using xkeycaps to set the compose key: keycode 0x4E = Scroll_Lock NoSymbol Multi_key
When I try it out in emacs, it does not work at all. In the gnome-terminal I get ------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ^e bash: :s^e: substitution failed [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ------------------------- In xterm, as in emacs, the Control-Scrollock combination is ignored and the result is just "s^e" in stead of "sĂȘ". I had it working on another Debian machine but is struggling on this one: Potato/Storm - helix-gnome Any ideas?
