I've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu 11.04, and a difference that bugs me a bit is, when a dead key (such as ^
or ´
) is pressed twice, the behavior differs in the two OS'es.
On Windows, the first press is dead, but the second press gives you two characters. So, for instance, pressing ¨
once nets you nothing, but twice nets you ¨¨
.
On Ubuntu, the first press is also dead, but the second press only nets you one character. So, pressing ¨
once nets you nothing, twice nets you ¨
.
What I'd like to do is make dead keys function as on Windows, that is, pressing them twice nets you the character two times.
I do not wish to make them non-dead, as I then wouldn't be able to write for ü, for instance.
Is such a thing possible, and if so, how?
