TUX Magazine: Entering International Characters
===============================================

   Being a guy with an accent on one of the letters of his name, you can
imagine that I probably spend a lot of time entering so-called "special
characters" in my documents and e-mails. Short of keeping a document
with these letters already written, then copying, and pasting them,
entering an é can be amazingly time consuming. Worst of all, while
OpenOffice.org lets me click Insert, Special Character to select from a
list, not all applications have a handy list of characters to choose
from. For everyone out there who routinely has to enter special
characters or letters with accents, I'm going to give you a great KDE
trick [http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000044] to use that will ease
the pain.
