Dead circumflex?
Merciadri Luca
Hash: SHA1
Hello,
When typesetting French documents, I have to use ``^'' accents.
However, pressing ``^'' is not recognized by Gnus, as it says
``<dead-circumflex> is undefined.'' It works through emacs, but not
with Gnus. Do I have to associate ``^'' with the circumflex accent,
i.e. in .emacs file? If so, how?
Thanks.

Read ``it does **not** work through emacs'' rather than ``it works
through emacs'' please.

If you type C-x ret C-\ and then latin-1-postfix you will select an
input method appropriate for the major western European languages. To
get circumflexed vowels (� � � � �) type the vowel and then the caret.
See minibuffer after typing vowel (or other character admitting
diacritical).

When typing C-x ret, it says that there is no such associated
command. Is there another alternative to select another input method
which would be more appropriate to my habitual input?
Thanks.

Does it have any thing to do with scim, whatever that is?:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403281
Try changing your keyboard to French Candadian, or better yet, UK or US.
Anyway, it seems not to be an Emacs problem but a keyboard one caused
by the OS.
Ed
Btw, C-x RET C-\ should work if you have not reassigned key bindings.
RET is the Enter key.
Merciadri Luca
Thanks for your answer. It seems to rely (*only*) on SCIM, that I sometimes
use. I will check it, and won't report here new news about it, as it
is not concerned with Emacs. Thanks for everything.

With my laptop, emacs is the only application where I cannot use

Hmm. Maybe scim modified something. Is there anything in your .emacs
that looks suspicious. Have you discovered why C-x Ret C-\ does not
work? Is this on Linux? Is there an Xmodmap keyboard config around
anywhere? If you chose latin-1-postfix, what does e^ produce other than
the non existent deadkey warning. I assume that the caret key on
keyboard matches where it should be on the Fr layout. If you can get
anything in by hook or crook, does C-x = show something like this,
mutatis mutandis:
Char: � (2282, #o4352, #x8ea, file ...) point=2 of 5152 (0%) column=0
Char: ^ (94, #o136, #x5e) point=2 of 5154 (0%) column=0
This is on ver 22.3
If I install a Fr keyboard on w32 (2000) and with input method
latin-1-postfix, because of the French keyboard, input works backwards,
i.e press caret (to right of p) and then e, produces circumflex e but it
is still reported as:
Char: � (2282, #o4352, #x8ea, file ...)
Same behavior with dieresis or umlaut: dead key invisible until next key
pressed. In fact I can find no backslash on the French keyboard at all.
Another possibility is to set the keyboard to English via the OS and
then chose one of the French input methods via Mule. That way you would
at least have a backslash. Most if not all vowels with diacritics are on
the number keys.

Not really.

No.

Yes, both Debian and Ubuntu.

I cannot choose latin1-postfix. Note that I have two computers:
- - On the laptop, running Ubuntu, the circumflex is well placed under
all the other applications. The only app where it does not work is
Emacs.
- - On the other, running Debian, the circumflex is always put near the
letter, but never at its top, as I want it to be.
On both computers, Emacs treats it as <dead-circumflex> being
undefined.

It shows info for all the characters, but as I cannot type the
circumflex in Emacs, I can't figure out which message it could display
for it.

Lucky you. Ok.

I have the same problem with dieresis or umlaut. It then shows,
e.g. for dieresis: <S-dead-dieresis> not defined.

I tried it. The situation keeps being the same. Note that, as I said
above, I can type a backlash, and other strange characters, but
dieresis and circumflex accent do not work.

Force the OS to remap the scancodes from the keyboard using Xmodmap on
Linux or Keytweak on MS (ver 2000 or later).

I just did it, but it has no influence, as circumflex, etc., *do* work
in all other applications.

I did this in order to get dead-acute defined. The downside is that I
can't type the acute itself (�), which is achieved by pressing the key
next to backspace twice in other applications, e.g. an xterm
window. Anyone else had an issue with this? I'm running 23.1.1 on RHEL5.

Not that I'm aware of. It's at work, so I don't know all the details of
the setup. I've found the acute on other keys since. Still a bit
strange.
