I am using a Japanese qwerty keyboard and I found that I cannot use
the alt key to enter accented characters (French in my case) in
OpenOffice.org.
What I get on my display is the following:
•alt+e+letter
aeiou (should be áéíóú)
•alt+_+letter
`a`e`i`o`u (should be àèìòù)
•alt+i+letter
^a^e^i^o^u (should be âêîôû)
•alt+u+letter
aeiou (should be äëïöü)
•alt+c
ç (ok)
•alt+q
œ (ok)
Basically, all the "simple" combinations work (alt+letter=output)
except for a few:
alt+e does not output the [´] and alt+u does not output the [¨]
I got feedback from people who use "standard" qwerty (us ?) keyboards
with X11/OOo and they told me that they had no problem entering the
characters I needed in the "Mac" way (the one that I describe as
"should be" above).
I am not at all a "power" user and am a little lost when I see
explanations about X11 settings on the net, especially since most of
them do not refer specifically to OSX.
Would there be online "tutorials" or relatively simple documents to
set up a correct input method ?
