Especially i ned this character very often when working with LaTeX or R. Can someone give me a hint what to do here? I guess there's something missing in the .emacs-file? I have a Samsung R50 laptop with a german keybord. I found out that if i do 'C-x 8' then it is possible to do the ^ sign, but i would be much better if this is also possible after loading emacs. Here's my .emacs.file (custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/ paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. '(case-fold-search t) '(column-number-mode t) '(current-language-environment "German") '(default-input-method "german-postfix") '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock)) '(iso-accents-mode t) '(iso-accents-customize "german") '(iso-ascii-convenient t) '(latin1-display t nil (latin1-disp)) '(line-number-mode t) '(mouse-wheel-mode t nil (mwheel)) '(paren-mode (quote paren) nil (paren)) '(pc-selection-mode t nil (pc-select)) '(show-paren-mode t nil (paren)) '(standard-indent 2) '(tab-always-indent nil) '(tab-width 2) '(truncate-lines t)) (custom-set-faces ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
