I've been using the auto correct functionality since Word 2.0 to do the same thing. Granted, it doesn't work well when you need to type the character in a post on a message board, but 95% of my need is in Word Processing Programs and Spread Sheets. So, 5 minutes of effort turns (c) to © and
(s) to § forever.

- pbhjpbhj 17y agoThe Ubuntu page shows that fourth level characters are available as standard for © (AltGr+Shift+C) and § (AltGr+Shift+s. When I was on windows I used the Alt+NumPad unicode method. Anyone know how to set the compose key from standard Kubuntu 9.10?
- alan_p 17y agoHaving an AltGr (third-level chooser) key on my native language keyboard, I was quite surprised to see Ubuntu (Linux in general? It's all in xkb's symbols layout anyway) have not only third level glyphs on way more keys than I was used to from Windows (AltGr+Q = @, AltGr+E = €, etc) but also fourth level glyphs (AltGr+Shift+...). Sadly a lot of them are pretty useless (e.g. the many "logical negation" keys -- I guess they used them in place of None).
