If you have a US English Keyboard and you want to typeset those accented Spanish Characters on your amsn or Licq, how do you do that?
I recently asked about the same question. This is the answer I hit
upon: run the command
xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = Multi_key"
Then use the menu key (has a picture of a menu mid-selection) as a "compose" key. So for an accented "e", press compose+', then press the "e". Try other combination for other characters. (Including yen symbol, US cents symbol, etc.) For inverted question mark and inverted exclamation point compose+? followed by ? or compose-! followed by !.
I put the above line in my /etc/bashrc file, after the line that reads "screen)".
Good luck,
-kb, the Kent who still doesn't know how to do a euro symbol.
Compose = e
works for me. Interestingly, Compose e = doesn't, and neither do Compose c = or Compose = c, all of which are mentioned in
/usr/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
but don't make it into the Compose functionality. Beats me.
