I have tried that, switched a number of keyboards (including the Swedish you
mentioned, and Western European, which would be appropriate for my using),
restarted KDE a few times, but it did not work at all. How was the keyboard
setup supposed to be activated? Did I do anything wrong?
On another note: I believe this matter could be addressed at a lower level,
from the console itself; if I use the kbdconfig utility, I can choose an
appropriate keyboard, as Swedish, Swedish latin, U.S., French... I have
tried all of them, but none worked for me. What I want to do is to be able
to type " ´+ a " and " á " comes out, or " , + c " to get "ç" , " ` + a "
for "à" (I am using Win98 at work now, that is the reason why I can type
such characters at all)... does anyone know if I can add keyboard types to
the kbdconfig utility? Or changing keymaps? Any
Portuguese/Spanish/French/Italian/Swedish/Any Language -speaking people who
have dealt with a similar issue?
