The compose key is probably not on your keyoard, but you can bind it to something like the windows menu key: keysym Menu = Multi_key The compose key lets you "compose" together letters and punctuation, producing accented letters and other symbols. For example, <compose> <a> <'> yeilds á <compose> <a> <"> yeilds ä <compose> <u> </> yeilds µ <compose> <o> <^> yeilds ô <compose> <?> <?> yeilds ¿ There are tons more useful symbols you can get at with compose: ß © ½ etc. -- see shy jô
