[comp.soft-sys.andrew] X11 key bindings

rr2b+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Robert Andrew Ryan) (12/11/90)

ATK maps the Meta-key combinations to ESC-<the character>.

So, assuming that there are no conflicts with other keybindings you
could use something like:

addkey compchar-compose \ea textview textview inherit "a:"

for the a umlaut and similarly for the others.

A few (?) weeks ago someone asked on this list how to bind special
functions to keys. I would like to bind the german umlauts to some
Meta-keys:

	ae == d == a umlaut	to 	Meta-a

	oe == v == o umlaut	to	Meta-o

	.
	.
	.

	Ue == \ == U umlaut	to	Meta-shift-U

Many thanks in advance,

J|rgen.

P.S.: The Meta-key is on a DECstation (or VAXstation) the
Compose-Character-key.
