>how can i gain the ability to type a power of 2? I can tell you how I do it - there may be other ways. I set up a "compose" key through the GNOME settings: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout Tab -> Layout Options button >From there you can set up a key to be the "compose" key in the "Compose Key position" section. I use "Caps Lock" since I do not use that key otherwise, but you can choose any of the keys available. Once you have a compose key defined you can enter the power of two character by typing: <compose> ^ 2 This is three separate key presses. You do not hold down the compose key. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
