Under Worm, if I press alt-132 I end up with an umlaut a. This doesn't
work under OOo 3 or in a terminal window. How can I get the same result
under Linux?
In GTK+ based programs like Gnome Terminal or OOo 3 you can type
Ctrl+Shift+U followed by the Unicode hexadecimal code terminated by a
space. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input> for other
situations.
And if you don't want to memorize the hex codes, you can
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Layouts tab -> Layout
Options -> Compose key position
Select a "compose" key, and you should be able to compose characters in
any X11 application. Umlaut a would be entered by pressing in sequence
Compose, a, double-quote. Many characters are "composed" of other
characters with a similar appearance. The Euro is compose, e, =, for
instance. It's almost intuitive. ;)
