Entering Characters in Amaya

To enter ISO-Latin characters that are not directly available from the keyboard, Amaya uses the standard support provided by the Operating System. An optional multi-key support is also provided for Motif versions and Windows versions.

Amaya provides a mechanism for assigning Keyboard Shortcuts to characters that are not directly available from the keyboard. Some of them are pre-defined:

• To enter a non-breaking space, press Ctrl space.

  This character will be saved as an entity ( ) and is displayed in the source view with the following colored character: ~

• To enter a € (euro) character, press Alt \ .
• To enter a «, press either Alt [ (it depends on your keyboard).
• To enter a », press Alt ].

See the description of the standard input method: Standard multi-key for Motif and GTK versions
