Dear folks,
I am running Gnome 3 and want to setup a special keyboard mapping to be able to get
special keys/shortcuts see
http://sob.apotheon.org/?p=814 for special character
discussion.
ñ For students/parents with last names Peña, or Treviño as examples, also for accents like
José
The command
setxkbmap -option compose:ralt
does the job and instead of placing it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.local or other
older solution. If I need to put in ~/.bashrc, ~/.xinitrc will it start and allow me to
input the special characters?
I have figured it out for (FreeBSD and Slackware[XFCE desktop]) using startx and automatic
login using tricks. Have not figured it out for Fedora with gnome-shell or Gnome 3 :(
Where will it work? (~/.xinitrc), (~/.bashrc), (~/.config/autostart), using regular
startup(level 5 with systemd)?
Thanks to the other suggestions I got gkrellm to run at startup using gkrellm.desktop in
~/.config/autostart/, do I need something similar. I want to have this available so my
students can compose the special characters and I don't have to type the command
everytime :(
This way they can type their correspondance to their spanish professors at the community
college. They want to use alt+164, but I got advice to use the compose key + ~ => ñ
Thanks in Advance,
Antonio
