scharfes S und umlaut — 22 hours ago
While studying German on LiveMocha.com, I have been stymied by my inability to type German characters like umlauts and the scharfes S. No longer! I can now type ä, ï, ö, ë and even ß!! It doesn’t end there. Typing Spanish? You’ll need é, ñ, ¡, and ¿. I can even type symbols like ©, ®, and €.
The secret is the “compose key.” On my computer, I have designated the right control key as the compose key. Now I hit R-CTRL then a two-letter combination to get my desired character. It is fairly intuitive: n + ~ = ñ
“compose” + s + s = ß
“compose” + u + ” = ü
“compose” + e + ’ = é
(Don’t actually type ”+”) A much longer list is available on Wikipedia: Compose Key.
This is much easier than Alt + Unicode code, which is impossible to remember and doesn’t seem to work in Linux anyway. As for designating a compose key on your computer, Windows users are on their own. In Linux/Gnome, select System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layout Options/Compose key position.
I’m very excited.
