Emacs 21.4.1 under konsole/xterm

Emacs 21.4.1 under konsole/xterm

[Ulisses]

Hi all

I'm trying to use emacs with a konsole/xterm and UTF-8

I can cat > somefile and type utf-8 characters, also characters
are displayed correctly.

My only i18n environment variable is LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, which I
understand should be enough.

when I execute "emacs -nw" under an xterm or konsole, emacs can
display utf-8 text but I cannot type non ascii characters directly. I
understand that this is a problem related to the "input method". I have
read some documentation & wiki info but I haven't managed to configure
it properly.

how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

When GNU Emacs is running without windows inside a terminal emulation 
then it relies on this terminal's 'input methods.' Every character you 
can produce in xterm should be available in Emacs too.

In Mac OS X I can use the alt or option key to toggle my keyboard to 
produce characters outside 7 bit US-ASCII. This too works in an X 
client like xterm. (Or in Emacs running in its own windows.)

Could you describe which keys and how they are produced work in xterm 
and in your konsole application and do not work when GNU Emacs 21.4 is 
running in those terminal emulations?

Could be that the environment variable LC_CTYPE (same as LANG) helps 
GNU Emacs.

Did you set your language environment in emacs to utf-8? Please refer to:
