I only use compose keys for a bunch of characters like ? (copyright mark) for example. For any other I use dead diacriticals (for example, to write the accented chars for my mother tongue). > You can also alter the keymap to allow you do ISO 14755 input > (ctrl+shift+hex_digits) - useful for occasional characters, if they > are in your font and you can remember their value. I have my keymap modified for that, and I use it as a last resort. If I find myself using AltGr+hex (that's the key combo I use), I usually put that character in a compose. Thanks for the info, I'm very happy to hear that it works :))) Ra?l N??ez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
