| Vhata | scar[w]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey :) | 08:39 |
| Vhata | sjoe, that's not a well-written piece of documentation | 08:39 |
| Kilos | fairly easy in ubuntu | 08:42 |
| scar[w] | thanks Vhata | 08:42 |
| Vhata | Kilos: I know it's easy, it's just that that help page doesn't explain things very well | 08:43 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:43 |
| Kilos | what do you call those little goodies we use the compose key for , such as ô | 08:50 |
| Kilos | im not sure what those characters are called | 08:51 |
| Kilos | i am blogging how to get a compose key in ubuntu | 08:51 |
| Kilos | for new ubuntu users of course | 08:52 |
| Kilos | i can even leave the explanation with maaz as well | 08:53 |
| * nlsthzn doesn't know the little goodies | 08:53 | |
| Kilos | lol | 08:53 |
| Kilos | superfly, what is the character called above the o in ô | 08:54 |
| Kilos | all of them actually | 08:54 |
| Kilos | not each individual one | 08:54 |
| superfly | Kilos: I don't know | 08:55 |
| Kilos | oh mywhew | 08:57 |
| Kilos | come on Vhata what are they collectively called | 08:57 |
| Vhata | accents? | 08:58 |
| Kilos | i have completely lost the correct word | 08:59 |

| Kilos | if i blog it wrong then every one knows im stupid | 09:00 |
| Vhata | they're called accents | 09:00 |
| Kilos | they dont just think so | 09:00 |
| Kilos | ok ty Vhata | 09:00 |
| Vhata | or 'diacritic' :) | 09:01 |

| Kilos | great. ty | 09:02 |
| Kilos | is this ok guys | 09:05 |
| Kilos | Maaz, compose key | 09:05 |
| Maaz | You go system/keyboard/layouts/options/ then on compose key tick the tiny triangle and choose which key you would like to use as your compose key. To use the compose key you tap the chosen compose key and then shift and the diacritic you want, then type the character and it will appear inline. more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic | 09:05 |

| Kilos | here comes some spam | 17:38 |
| Kilos | Reader Duane Donovan has given me the idea of running a column/series which would be just for Windows users, or for those brand new to Ubuntu. It would take parts of Windows and explain it's *buntu equivalent. I'm going to try and show how things are done using Unity, Gnome, KDE, XFCE and LXDE for each item. | 17:38 |
| Kilos | oh not too bad | 17:39 |
