This does not work for me and hasn't in the 4 years or so that I've been using Linux (Fedora and Ubuntu). AltGr+e gives e Ctrl+Alt+e gives e This is true for Open Office. It is also true for Text Editor and Thunderbird except that Ctrl+Alt produces no text output. Seeing as we're on this topic I'd be grateful for any suggestions as it's a problem that's bugged me for years but never managed to track down. My keyboard layout is Generic 105-key (Intl) PC according to System->Preferences->Keyboard. I have just tried Tony's "Compose key" approach which does actually work for me (thank you Tony!). It would be nice to get AltGr working for the more common accents but "Compose" is clearly more robust. - -- Stephen O'Neill w: http://www.thefloatingfrog.co.uk/ e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH719sJ+Auntu1v4QRApGYAJ4zrJfZebUG5bnF0BM1EEMUx9NLEACfdTjV Hqaia5SPoWa+apRE6ByngwE= =5r7B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
