305382 2004-12-19 01:38:00 I had a really cool trick that flaptop the computer could do. If i typed
"caf'e" i would get cafe (with the funny wee thing over the "e") I dont know how i turned it on. i dont know how i turned it off, but its gone now.

Currently running Mandrake10/KDE, and about to rip that out and go to FC3

Does anyone know how to turn this feature back on, and if it is built into FC3, and if not, what it is called, and where to get it?

:D

It seems there's a keyboard&console HOWTO which has a bit about this too.
