Question about shell: Dead keys don't work in shell
I am experiencing a problem with shell. Many languages, like French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Esperanto and Vietnamese, to name a few ones, add diacritical marks to letters. One can say that 4/5 of the world population speak languages with diacritical marks. The Chinese, for example, use a system, called Hànyǔ pīnyīn, with diacritical marks to write their language, and teach children the pronunciation of traditional Chinese characters.
To add diacritical marks to letters, keyboards have the so called dead keys. If you want to write café, or coup d'état, bon appétit, à la vôtre santé, déjà vu, you need dead keys. The problem is that dead keys don't seem to work on console of Puppy Linux. They work everywhere, except in the console.
If I try to use the mouse and keyboard wizard, I discover that Puppy Linux offer me only one option: No dead keys. I would appreciate if a member of this community could tell me how to activate dead keys for the console.
I tried to edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, without success. By the way, dead keys don't work only in the console. They work very well for everything else. They also work inside Emacs. So, I am forced to use the consoles of Emacs (shell, eshell, ansi-term bash, etc.
It is interesting that dead keys work for Lucid Puppy, but not for the other distributions of Puppy Linux.

Re: Question about shell: Dead keys don't work in shell
Unfortunately, this thread is not the appropriate one for your question. I suggest that you try posting as a new thread.edu500ac wrote:If I try to use the mouse and keyboard wizard, I discover that Puppy Linux offer me only one option: No dead keys.

Re your question, I can't help you, but I do know there are a number of terminal emulators. For example, in Dpup Exprimo the menu offers LXTerminal and urvxt-unicode terminal emulators. Maybe try these and see if one does what you desire. But I think someone would know, if you post where they will see it.
Good luck!

Looks like Dapper was a Ubuntu release (6.06). What package are you looking for? (and what Puppy are you using?)Agnishom wrote:This Link didn't work

Perhaps try the search link in my sig line -- see if it exists as a .pet, or if there is a discussion about it.

The dapper link is in the second post of this thread. I would like to work through this as well; maybe someone can give another program that would work in the same way as the O.P. intended in his example?Flash wrote:Can you tell us where you found that link?
Edit:
To Agnishom,
I'm going to try to work through the first example from this:
Edit: Removed link; see next post.
Obviously, click on save file.

After trying the ia64 deb, I found it did not work. I am using Fatdog64.
So then I downloaded the AMD deb from here:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zynaddsubfx
I would guess that most puppies would use the i386 deb. Anyway I got this to work so far.
I've got to get some sleep. It seems that I am able to do what the OP intended for his lesson. I'll work on it another day.
Code: Select all
# ls
zynaddsubfx_2.4.0-1+b1_ia64.deb
#
# for i in `ls *.deb`; do undeb $i; shift; done
# usr/bin/zynaddsubfx:
sh: usr/bin/zynaddsubfx:: No such file or directory
# usr/bin/zynaddsubfx
sh: usr/bin/zynaddsubfx: cannot execute binary file
