WIN95 does not seem to handle the dead keys (characters show up after typing another key) right. On German keyboards, ~ works fine, but in your language it may be a dead key. What is really annoying is that the non-dead layout-specific keys do not work with latest coolview, e.g. the umlauts on German keyboards. If you really need the keys that are dead in your layout, there is a workaround: In Control Panel / Keyboard you can load the English/USA language and layout and switch the layouts via hotkey as needed. English/ USA layout has another advantage: VI(M) commands are now quite logical :-) BTW: How do I type national characters such as German umlauts or French accented characters on US-keyboards? regards - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
