Just to add to the overall confusion: In many cases for non-american keyboard layouts, "~" is configured as "dead key" in X (in order to type things like "ñ" and such). For a "~", you effectively have to type "~",<SPACE>. So my series of keystrokes is almost always: <CR>,"~",<SPACE>,".". But I only need that when the connection dies, otherwise I still prefer <CTRL>-D. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
