How to enter French or German chars?

Hello.

First of all: Not all programs support the two methods I describe below.

Method 1:

If you have a french keyboard you may simply use this. Unfortunately some programs do not support the Alt-GR key.

Method 2:

Using the "Compose" key (If you have a non-Sun keyboard: Ctrl+Alt+F1). Example: Press "Compose" (and release it), then type two characters (example: "A" (= Shift-a) and " " " (= Shift-2)). You'll get a combined character (in the example: "?). There is a list of combinations and results from Sun. Not all programs support this method.
