(doesn't work by default) You need to select a compose key by using e.g. 'setxkbmap -option compose:rctrl' or XWin's -xkboption option. Possibilities for the compose key seem to be: ralt, lwin, rwin, menu, lctrl, rctrl,caps Obviously, this only affects input into X applications. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
