Typing accented characters in Linux
Hi. I use gedit as editor in my Linux systems (SUSE and Fedora); there I find that I can't type in accented characters like I used to do in Windows.
In the text editor in Windows, even using an English keyboard configuration, I could type in accented characters by entering a combination of Alt+<ASCIIcode>, for example Alt+130 would type in the accented 'e' character; this sequence doesn't work in Linux. Any suggestions on how to solve the problem ? Thnx Last edited by VicRic; 05-21-2007 at 08:40 AM.. |

Excellent! Thanks Nodsu.
á ctrl+shft+ue1 é ctrl+shft+ue9 í ctrl+shft+ued ó ctrl+shft+uf3 ú ctrl+shft+ufa ü ctrl+shft+ufc ñ ctrl+shft+uf1 ¿ ctrl+shft+ubf ¡ ctrl+shft+ua1 Also in Fedora and SUSE you can use 'Character Map / All Unicode Blocks' to find out the UTF16 code for any other character you may want to use. BTW I haven't tried this with KDE. Rgds Last edited by VicRic; 05-21-2007 at 03:45 PM.. |
