the « and » characters by pressing AltGr + Z and AltGr + X,

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but it was news to me, and I

Specifying the OS is not enough, you need at least the keyboard layout.
It would be impossible to have shortcuts involving | or \ on a French

Good point. I tend to

Another approach would be to write a little fixup script that turns
the ASCII variants into the non-ASCII variants, and then you could
bind it to a function key to translate the current line. That has
the advantage that you could use it on a script someone else sends

Dear All,
just for the Emacs-users among you:

For the Unix/Linux users it is possible to
setup or modify the keyboard layout using xmodmap.
Actually there are so many combinations of OS, keyboard layouts,
tools, editors and unicode encodings that this could
I just read Synopsis 3, and I have several questions.
1) Synopsis 3 says that the difference between $x ?| $y and $x || $y
is that the later always returns a Boolean. Does this mean that $x ?| $y
short-circuits?
