| |
Hi!
Some days ago i've found a kernel patch for 2.0.x that make dead keys work in raw mode, the patch create new scan codes on keyboard, and we change the /usr/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 (or equivalent) and the .Xmodmap files, and the X will treat that codes as a single key, making accented chars in any application. This is very usefull for applications that don't have support for i18n (internationalization).
Here is some list of this applications: StarOffice, Netscape, Gimp, and others (maybe ApplixWare, I will know about this because my copy is comming soon).
In portuguese, and another languages that have accented characters, this is necessary, because until I've found this patch, I've used Win95+Winword to make my resume, and letters.
Someone have plans to add features like this on kernel?
Forgive me please if this are already on developers release.
