The same with composition of accented characters like é. What worse is: this behaviour can change back to normal and back to improper, and I have no clue as to upon exactly what? Seems that sometimes just a change of focus to another window (xemacs) is sufficient, and the accent keys get deprived of function. It's a really dangerous problem. Imagine: I'd launch rm -f * (instead of rm -f *~) and pop would go the weasel. Anyway it's darn annoying. The question is: How can I force proper handling of accent keys? Preferably a method more elegant than a reboot. -- Med vänliga hälsningar ----- With best regards yours / A \ Hans-Georg | / \ | ---------------------+----------------------------------- \ / .
