--- Comment #4 from Christoph Feck <christoph at maxiom.de> ---
Dead keys are a way to combine several strokes to a new character. For example,
to type a 'ñ' you can combine '~' and 'n' (here, '~' needs to be 'dead',
waiting for the next key). For the '^' key, possible combined characters are
'â', 'ê' etc.

Which keys are dead is determined by the keyboard layout and usually depends on
the region's preferences. With increasing internationalization, i.e. the need
to type foreign letters, more layouts offer dead keys by default.
