Apple's X11 and international keyboards
Authored by: jmaiz on Apr 22, '03 06:37:01PM

I am new to the Mac OS X world but have used unix for a long time. The problem I am finding in trying to use international characters in OroborOSX has apparently nothing to do with the keyboard. For example, if I do:

xmodmap -pke > .xmodmap.default

and I look at the output I see that:

keycode 16 = c C ccedilla Ccedilla

However, when I try to type at the command line in an xterm the key combination Alt+c what I get as an screen output is C' , not ç.

I have already included in my .Xdefaults the line:

xterm*utf8: 1

so that unicode characters should be displayed and indeed they are when I do a ls -lav of a directory with filenames such as Imágenes. However, when I use the Tab to complete the filename what I get is Ima\314\201genes instead of Imágenes.

Am I missing something or is this a real bug in OroborOSX?
