Re: [PLUG] Entering extended characters in Linux
|
What I do is press Ctrl-Shift to switch to Japanese mode. Then I just type two or three letters to form one kana character. At that point I can press the space bar for other conversion options or just press enter to commit. This can be done for entire sentences. In the case
in which I want a small character, for example, I can press "x" before the character sequence.
I'm sure that is a lot more typing than you would need. Actually, I'd like to be able to enter simple characters like the British pound sign and the accented "e" in Pokemon. heh

I use xmodmap at home. This one line script sets the "windows key" as the
compose key. I run it everytime X starts.
xmodmap -e "keysym Super_L = Multi_key
Here's a nice article on how to do it

I'm going to try your suggestions at work monday. Thanks
