A solution is to have a « compose » key on your keyboard. If you don't
have one, you can emulate one with the command I use : before running
LyX (p.ex. when starting X), type the following one :
xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Multi_key"
(with the quotes). It make your Windows « menu » key (which is not very
usefull under Linux) to act like the « control » one (is name is «
Multi_key » too).
After that, you can use the following combinaison to have characters :
Compose ; s ; s -> ß
Compose ; < ; < -> «
Compose ; > ; > -> »
Compose ; c ; , -> ç (for the French use)
and so on...
