It's probably in your home folder, in that .trinity folder, because the other places ought to get changed on a new installation. I did a little searching myself, but I don't have the same need for umlauts in writing mostly English here, so I don't have the same configuration, which makes it hard for me to search for what doesn't exist in my own system. Looking in this folder: /home/~/.trinity/share/config/ most likely candidates seem to be: kxkbrc kkbswitchrc khotkeysrc kglobalshortcutsrc kdeglobals Some of these, on my system, have no backup versions; others have several backups from when things got changed. > > will search for the proper config files. got another laptop here, may > have to switch to it as I´m on the road and lack time also for > tinkering. If you have Trinity installed on the laptop, then a brute force option would be just to copy your configuration files to the other system. But that seems too much like using a hammer to make minor fine-tuning adjustments; you might only mess things up more. However, if indeed you have Trinity installed on both machines, and assuming that your umlauts work just fine on the other machine -- well, now you have something for comparison. You might be able to find it by comparing likely config files. > > diaeresis or Umlaut - my kingdom for a glyph! Yes, I see that I made a typo, too, as my old eyes seem to miss little things like letters. I don't know why I make more mistakes with email than I do with other kinds of text. Oh well. That email was already sent when I noticed my mistake, so there was no correcting it. Nothing worse than a pedant who gets it wrong! > > f. We ought to have asked this question at the start, but better late than never: Do you experience this problem system-wide, or only with certain programs? e.g., your usual keystrokes work okay to create umlauts in text files, etc., but not in your Office program? What comes through in your email is messy, but that could be on my end. (I get a lot of � characters in your emails; and just by pasting that in, my keyboard behaves now like I am typing in Hebrew, right to left.) Happy hunting! Bill
