Re: [orca-list] Typing diacrytics

[Mallard <mallard kimabe eu>]

Interesting! I had something like this on a manual typewriter when I was 
in high school. Since I was studying languages, i needed to have 
diffeent symbols for different languages, but that was long before IBM 
came out with their electric typewriters with character heads...


I had a so-caleld "international keyboard", with a couple of dead keys 
that wouldn't move when you pressed them. You had to press these keys 
before the letter yo wanted to modify, and then the actual letter key.


Is this how this Compose key works?


Thhanks for pointing me to this feature.

Ciao,

Ollie
