But you can map any key as a compose key using xmodmap, e.g. the "menu" key or the (right or left) "windows" keys (Super_R, Super_L). `Compose " a' gives `ä' and so on. So you have exactly the same as you described for AllChars or am I missing something? Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- PGP key available via WWW http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
