[Linux-disciples] Accented characters in the terminal

[Stephen R Laniel]

Under Windows (or maybe it's just MS Office), typing
accented characters is easy:

* Ctrl+` [letter] = [letter] + accent grave
* Ctrl+/ [letter] = [letter] + accent aigu
* Ctrl+: [letter] = [letter] + diaeresis
* Ctrl+, [letter] = [letter] + cedilla
* etc.

This is the easiest alternative I've found under Linux, but
it's still not as easy as Windows:

Rather than having to change your whole keyboard layout to
alter the meaning of certain keys, shouldn't you be able to
just preface them with Ctrl or some other such key?
