Dear FreeBSD experts,
There has been something that I find hard to do, I would like to find
a CTRL + KEY combination, or ALT + KEY combination to input special
characters like (ñ) [ALT + 164 or ALT + 0241 in Mr. Gates OS].
http://www.forlang.wsu.edu/help/keyboards.asp
accents other symbols like copyright, euro, etc. I would like to do
the same(have a special key combination) to get the characters in
FreeBSD too, but googling have not found something that works. I even
tried to run a litte program in the shell to generate the characters
to use for cutting + pasting to no avial.
But the characters after 127 are not printable :( using the pr-ascii script from
http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/wrapper.html
u + 00F1 is the ñ,but I don't know which key combination gives the
same results as above. A script/program(C,C++) that would generate
the characters would be nice, but if there is a key combination that
could be used to generate the special letters.
Thanks in Advance,
Antonio
