My pleasure, and however you solve this, you can post it here if your countrymen in the future will google it. > Actually the Latin alphabet has 26 characters Okay, but it is not the total number but the number of chars that would involve the compose key, and how often they are used. Too much compose key can a little annoying so better think of a clever way to set it up. The rule is (1) it should work, and (2) you should do it as not as often as possible. Other than that, yeah, good solution. > the greek alphabet has only 24, leaving 2 extra keys for > accents/punctuation. Swedish alphabet has the Latin ones and å ä and ö, so that should (+ 26 3) 29. The Norwegians use the Danish alphabet, maybe by now it is Norwegian as well, This also has three extra chars at the end so 29 again but their chars and ours are similar but not identical. No idea what they do with their keyboards, here, I've not heard that the compose key is so commonly in use. Bulgarian 30 Russian 32 (or 33) Serbian 30 Ukrainian 32 Are those similar to the Greek alphabet? Maybe to some superficial extent but it is more beneficial to think of them as different/distinct alphabets, or am I wrong? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
