Is there some way to switch keyboard layouts on FreeBSD=20 quickly and painlessly as can be done on Windows? On Windows, hiting Left Shift + Alt switches between keyboards. An alternate way of entering accented or "strange" characters (on Windows)= =20 is to hold down Alt and enter the ASCII codes from the number pad, e.g. Alt= =20 - 0233 produces =E9. What options are there in FBSD - Unix? Thanks for any help. PJ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
