I see Ken Moffat already went in-depth on your question. ;) Personally i don't like 'dead' keys. Dead keys mean pressing ' does not show ' immediately. You'd have to press '<space> to get '. Or 'e to get é. I don't want that as i am an avid Perl coder. ;-) I use a feature called 'compose key', as Ken also illustrated, i use 'xmodmap' to change my 'AltGr' key into a 'Multi_key': keycode 108 = Multi_key Now when i press AltGr, then ' and then e, i get é Or AltGr, C, = gets me € HTH, With regards, -Sander. -- | If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed. | 4096R/20CC6CD2 - 6D40 1A20 B9AA 87D4 84C7 FBD6 F3A9 9442 20CC 6CD2
