Good day every body. I'm just registered. I have a QWERTY keyboard and I need write and read accent words in a easyest and fastest way. I changed the keysym table with xmodmap. The problem is Texmaker don't seems to recognize the new keyboard. I changed the editor encoding setting swicthing from UTF-8 to ISO 8859-1 and I included latin package in the document but it doesn't works. Any idea?
thanks

QWERTY keyboard and accent words
TeX is intended to be used as pure-ASCII files, so you won't need to use special layouts or extra key maps. To produce accent marks, there are short commands such as
\'a, \`a, \=a, \^a, \.a, \"a, \c c, and \o. There are many resources here: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =37&t=2177. In particular, table 2.2 of the Not-so-short Introduction to LaTeX has a list of these non-ASCII characters.Re: QWERTY keyboard and accent words
If you mean that you TeXMaker stop doing the "special" accents like á,à,ã... and the only thing you can type is ~a,'a, etc. I guess it's a SCIM config got wrong. You should install the ibus-qt4 package to fix problem:
Debian/Ubuntu:
$>sudo apt-get install ibus-qt4
Fedora equivalent:
$>yum install ibus-qt
