Hi, I am moving (closer to Israel) from the US to Switzerland and will need to use umlauted (for German) and accented (for French) characters. I have no desire to learn a radically new keyboard layout; Qwerty and Israeli is enough for me. I found a couple of keyboard layout images here: http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/keyboards/latin.html and I played around with KDE's keyboard selector, but could not find what layout the web page's corresponds to. So... * Does anybody know of another keyboard layout that covers pretty much the same breadth of accented characters as the one on the web page above (I need umlauts and accents at the very least. All additional characters, such as copyright, trademark, ... are a boon), or * does anybody recognize which keyboard layout the web page displays and what setting I should use to replicate that under X? in the console? Finally, I was wondering about the model. I have my "keyboard model" set to generic 104 pc. However, my extra keyboard (primary keyboard is the laptop's builtin one, but I often use an external keyboard) has 107 keys, the 104 layout plus power, sleep and wake up keys, yet there is no 107 key layout. How do I make X recognize those keys exist (I will worry about mapping something to them later)? And I also notice that KDE insists that the left win key is a modifier. How do I change that key into a non modifier key?
