Entering High-Order Characters of the Latin-1 Character Set
-----------------------------------------------------------
The following table shows the high-order characters of the Latin-1
character set and how to generate these characters using any keyboard
and the user-specified "compose" key.
When built without XIM support, PDCurses for X11 provides its own,
limited compose key system for Latin-1 characters. The available
combinations are listed here. For a given character, any of the
combinations shown in the last column may be used. To generate a
character, press the "compose" key followed by one of the pairs of
keystrokes. Where no key is evident, the spacebar is used. Thus, to
generate the NO-BREAK SPACE, press the "compose" key followed by two
hits of the spacebar.
The last column shows all possible key combinations to generate the
equivalent Latin-1 character. There are up to 7 pairs of keys used per
character, and these are listed in columns under the "Compose Key
Combinations" heading. To generate a character, press the "compose" key
followed by one of the pairs of keystrokes.
With a typical modern X server, you can get many more compose key
combinations by using XIM instead. Configure PDCurses with --enable-xim
to use XIM support.
Where no key is evident, the spacebar is used. Thus, to generate the
NO-BREAK SPACE, press the "compose" key followed by the spacebar,
followed by the spacebar.
