There is another key on the french OSX keyboard for which I see absolutely not use of and which seems to me to have been designed to be the compose key. It is located right besides the arrow keys and two buttons next to the space key. It's symbol is a ^ with a little line above it. As far as I can work out it only generates a new line when pressed. If it were easy to remap the apple keyboard then I would remap this key to the compose key, and try to have the alt key only generate the Alt call and not also the compose call.

No, I think that really is the Enter key. Back in the day some Mac Applications actually responded to "Return" (the generally L shaped key above Shift) and "Enter" differently, though its far less common now.

Hmm, that's interesting - I hadn't known that, and I'd been wondering quite a while why my powerbook has this silly Enter key at the bottom and no delete key whatsoever. That explains a bit.

Off topic, does anybody know of a handy way to rebind such keys? A delete key would be handy...
