I have a problem with my portuguese (103 keys) keyboard wich I am not able to solve. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much. My keyboard is standard in Portugal, with keys specific for my language (cedilla, accute and grave, etc.), and is well configured both in Linux console and in X-Windows. It works with dead-keys and the "signed" characters, such as "é", are construted with " ' "(accute) followed by "e". However in Amaya, with Multi-key support enabled, a most peculiar thing happens: - when I am editing the Address/Title section or any of the input windows from the menu, everything works fine and as expected; - when I am editing the main window I cannot access two keys: one with the grave and accute symbols and the other with the circumflex and tilde symbols! The pressing of those keys is completely ignored by Amaya. (I can circunvent the problem with accute letters by pressing apostrophe and then the letter, but that does not work for graves, because I cannot find the grave key!) I tried fiddling with configuration files (including X-Windows') and with the Amaya source code (there are a couple of places, in the thotlib directory, where I could, apparently, disable the key handling by the thotlib and make the program use the XLib keyboard handling), but my efforts were not successful. My guess is that Amaya (sometimes) expects a standard US 101-key keyboard. But I cannot convince it to expect a 103-key portuguese keyboard, instead. Any help would be appreciated.
