Sorry, but the water cooled off quite quickly. Since
these
are shortcuts, they are found under shortcuts.
Specifically, look for shortcut keys:in text documents.
You might want to look at the other items in the category
of shortcuts. There are many listed there.

Oh, that's fine: one never ends learning...
What about my side doubt: is it correct that
ALT+char_number doesn't give any char and you have to us
Insert/Special character?
Ennio
Sorry, it does not work without some major changes.

Help for secial characters. It describes how to get that to
work. There may well be a macro that will do it also.
Dan
Using the 'compose key' (right Win key on my suse 10 system) +
characters will allow you to create most compound characters.
e.g. compose + ~ , followed by n gives me ñ (ascii 241)
Very good. I just did the same thing on Mandriva Linux.
However,
I did not that to get the ~ above the n I had to use
compose+shift+~ followed by n.
Well, yes, because ~ by definition needs shift since it is in the
upper register on most keyboards. The same goes for ~ and ^ on
my UK keyboard, whereas ' (for acute accents) and ` (for grave)
are in the lower register and therefore do not need shift.
See http://andrew.triumf.ca/iso8859-1-compose.html for other
combinations.
BTW you can also use the AltGr key if you have it on your
keyboard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key), or simply
switch keyboard with the KDE keyboard tool. I just find it
easier to remember the compose key combinations rather than a
separate keyboard if I simply need a few accented characters.
It's also easier than trying to remember the ASCII codes.

Hi Dan John,
I've just found out that the ALT-GR key will do the job on my keyboard
(I'm using _keyboard.it_ of course, so a few letters are already
accented; but the ALT-GR will print a lot more 'exotic' chars).
Thanks for your indications.
Ennio.
