First, one[0] assigns a Multi_key if there is not one present. I <br>
usually use the right-Ctrl for this purpose. By running xev in a <br>
terminal and pushing that key, I see that that is keycode 105 on my <br>
keyboard. Your keyboard may be different, check. Armed with this <br>
information, one does "xmodmap -e 'keycode 105 = Multi_key' ". Then one <br>
looks in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose to see all the things <br>
one can do. One can, for instance, do Multi_key, = , then C, and get a <br>
Euro sign. Or one can do Multi_key, ' , then a vowel, and get that <br>
vowel with an acute accent.<br>
<br>
[0] One believes using "one" like this has jumped the 19th-century <br>
English teacher shark.<br>
