You have to press them not at the same time but sequentially and a bit
quick.
I tried many times for this method, no magic.
Anyway, it can be get also with the method I told you a few days
ago. Do
you remember the table of the unicode characters?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C1_Controls_and_Latin-1_Supplement
Based on that, "superscript one" is done with:
crtl-shift-u [release] 00b9 [enter]
This one works, Thanks for your niceness.
They are very professional. I guess I can only remember one or two.

You can get superscripts and a bunch of other useful things without
memorizing
the ctl-shift-u codes. Make yourself a compose key. I have mine on the
right
ctrl key, but you could use right alt, or, if you have a Microsoft k/b,
then use
the right Microsoft key. You may have to Google how to make the compose
key in your
distro. In KDE, you can do it with configure desktop, configure
hardware, configure
keyboard, advanced, and then select the key you want for compose. These
figures
you make work anywhere on the machine, even in the Konsole. This trick
works in
Windows, also, if you download a freebie called allchars and install it.
To use this, you hit compose, then a two-character sequence that looks
something
like what you want to achieve.(You need to be fairly quick from compose
to characters,
but they are *not* simultaneous.) For instance, the superscripted
numbers can be
done by compose, then ^ then (number): ² ¹ etc. The cent sign: compose,
then / then c: ¢ The Euro sign: compose = e : EUR All of the accented
letters
of European languages: compose, then the diacritical mark (' ` ") then
the letter.
You can reverse the order of the two characters, and it still works. You
can also
get ¿ and ¡ for Spanish--compose, then the sign twice. Or the ß of
German--compose
then s twice. Yen: ¥ ; degrees: ° (o twice); fractions: ½ compose 12.
You can see
that this is all pretty much intuitive, so you don't have to memorize or
look up
alphameric codes.
