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 (=F1) [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 =F1,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
