I use xmodmap to accomplish the same thing. The following short script is in my Autostart directory. #!/bin/bash xmodmap -e "keysym Super_L = Multi_key" This assigns the "Windows key" as the modifier. To create é, I just type (in sequence, not simultaneously) <win key> -> ' -> e. Most of the combos are intuitive, e.g., <win> -> o -> c gives you ©. There are references available throughout the web. -- Art Alexion MIS x3075
