If you have an international keyboard layout, you should set the option |
| 380 |
<c>XkbModel</c> to <c>pc102</c> or <c>pc105</c>, as this will allow mapping of the |
| 381 |
additional keys specific to your keyboard. |
| 382 |
</p> |
| 383 |
|
| 384 |
<p> |
| 385 |
Deadkeys allow you to press keys that will not show immediately but will be |
| 386 |
combined with another letter to produce a single character such as é,è,á,à, |
| 387 |
etc. Setting <c>XkbVariant</c> to <c>nodeadkeys</c> allows input these special |
| 388 |
characters into X terminals. |
