...making Linux just a little more fun!
Dr. Parthasarathy S [drpartha at gmail.com]
Thank you. It worked.
"Le caf? fran?ais est tr?s bon a cause de son go?t. A No?l tout le monde boit du caf? noir."
I have 2 more questions ::
How do I invoke "zombie keys" from within Thunderbird ?
Is there any such trick for extending gedit or nedit ?
Thanks,
partha

As I'd mentioned, I have no personal experience with it, but it
mentions enabling these keys in the "Mozilla applications" - which at
least implies that it should work in Thunderbird. Maybe it's time to
head for the add-on's home page and explore those docs.

I use Vim, where it's just a matter of hitting 'Ctrl-K' and entering the two-character digraph - most of which are intelligently mapped. E.g., for Russian, the first character of the digraph is usually '=' followed by the equivalent English letter. For French, "?" is "e'", and "?" is "e`", and so on. These can always be reviewed with ':dig'.
