How To Enter Accented Chacters Using Keyboard?

[arzgi]

I'm a Finn, and Finnish language uses often accented characters, like ä and ö. I can produce them from Multikey using stylus, but that is slow method if you are working from keyboard. In /etc/keymap-2.6.map are lines like "compose '~' 'a' to 'ä'", but I could not find how to combine ~ and a, and get ä, for example.

This is the only bigger problem, otherwise I'm very happy user of OZ 3.5.4.1-alpha/SL-C3100. Opie looks great. Thanks guys!

install http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.op....0-r5_akita.ipk and look at /etc/keymap-extension-2.6-de.map - maybe this will provide you idea.

Thanks for your quick reply HRW. Now I can write correct Finnish. You are so great!

Hmm, I thought the problem was solved, but only partially. With keymap-extension all
characters, including those mentioned in extension, work perfectly in terminal.
In Opie, small ä and ö work right, but after first Ä or Ö , no other key
than those two works, so I can write only something like "ÄÄÖÄÄÖÖÖ"

can you post your keymap extension so someone could look at it?

Sounds like the infamous Fn+Shift = dead keyboard bug

# German keymapping
charset "iso-8859-1"
altgr keycode 24 = +odiaeresis
altgr keycode 30 = +adiaeresis
#altgr keycode 22 = +udiaeresis
shift altgr keycode 24 = +Odiaeresis
shift altgr keycode 30 = +Adiaeresis
#altgr shift keycode 22 = +Udiaeresis
#altgr keycode 31 = ssharp


It's exactly the same as you told me (the Akita example), I only commented out german
characters.

I was no aware of that bug, but those problematic Ä an Ö are Fn+Shift+a and FN+Shift+o.
