Well, I can use cut and paste, when I have a mouse and the text is
already shown on my desktop.
But what I have to do, when use just the cmdline interface? IOW, without
any GUI -- just the Linux console, or remote ssh session? How can I fill
the "é" character then?
You use the compose key like most the world has been using for a long
time.
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Layout -> Layout
Options -> Compose Key Position.
Personally I have it mapped to capslock, so that I can do <capslock> e '
which results in é
(setting aside the fact that compose key seems broken in rawhide...)
Support for the compose key seems pretty spotty. Yes, it worked fine
in my [thunderbird] compose window [voilà], but not at all on the
command line (using VT) or even in [x]emacs.
Is this supposed to be a set-once, use-always solution?
