<grin> "Dead keys" are mischevious little things, which when typed just "play dead", waiting for their time to come, until another key is typed and then dastardly put some kind of accent on the poor thing. ;-) </grin> ><opt>` does nothing > until the next keystroke, and then it adds an accent to that next > character (when appropriate). Well, yes, or you could describe it *that* way :-) <opt>~ does nothing (<opt>n is used to > add a tilde). Â`^~ and sometimes  are usually dead keys (on my Mac  isn't) Depending on how the dead key functionality is implemented it might affect modifiers. Apparently Apple decided not to support combining dead keys with alt or command modifiers :-( Well, I just found out that you can combine dead keys with the alt modifier, you get other nifty characters like typographical quotes. :-) Still, for key bindings it's better to find some 'normal' keys. /Andreas
