About Standard Multi-key Support of Motif and GTK

If an ISO-Latin character is unavailable on the standard keyboard, you can insert the character by pressing the special Compose key followed by a sequence of two other keys. See the table below for the keys used to insert various ISO-Latin characters. Note that in Amaya, you can switch the position of the first key and the second one.

If your keyboard doesn't contain the Compose key, you can attach it to an existing key such as Alt-Gr with the following xmodmap command:

keycode 113 = Multi_key

You can place this command in the $HOME/.Xmodmap file (in Unix), and Amaya will apply it when you will launch your X server.
