[Jed-users-l] Mute (dead or accent) keys

[Michael Lampe]

Hallo everyone,

I have this in my ~/.jedrc:

----------------------------------------------------------

%    Mute (dead or accent) keys
%    Valid Mute keys are:
%      ^, ~, ', `, \d168 (ISO Diaeresis), \d180 (ISO Acute), and \".
%    This means pressing this key then the key you want to accent yields
%     the accented character.  If you do not know what this is, you do not
%     need them.  By default, they are turned off.

%mute_set_mute_keys (" ^ ~ ' ` \d168 \d180 \"  ");  % choose all or subset

----------------------------------------------------------

Still, a backtick (`) has to be always typed twice to appear. Tildes (~) 
are also strange: First one only has to be typed twice to appear.

(If this really is a FAQ, then I was to dumb to find it. Please bear 
with me and enlighten me ...)

PS: I'm using jed-0.99.19-3 rebuild from fedora on CentOS-6.2 with 
slang-2.2.1-1.el6 in emacs mode. But the problem itself is now many 
years old.
