Hi, My keyboard is not doing this; what keyboard layout should I choose in Systems->preverences->keyboards to get this feature? Sometimes I post on the Musix forum and might like to interject some Spanish. This feature would be so much easier than switching back and forth between keyboards! If you visit Musix forums (http://foros.musix.es), I am Bazbo; on Ubuntu Forums I am Aurora. Like Yvan, I also have an M-Audio Ozone, but I have been struggling for over a year to get it to work properly in Linux. You are lucky yours works. If you think you can help, please see this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148467&page=5 I have stumped everybody on every forum and mail list I have tried. Maybe it is just time for new hardware? Luis, thank you for the short tutorial. Now maybe I won't have to skip the accent marks when I attempt to write in Spanish. As you can see, I am behind reading this forum, and am just getting to late November. If you reply to this message, please CC zaltar at myway dot com so I see the reply before next February :0 Also, G-Mail does not let me write the subject line when I reply, so I am sorry for the silly subject line, but there is nothing I can do about it. At least I edited the other posts from the digest. Cheers, Paul in Seattle
