US International keyboard layout (us-intl.kmap) (2001/08/24) =============================================== Copyright (C) 2001 Wolfgang Sourdeau This keymap and this document are distributed under the GNU General Public License. This package provides an accurate replacement for the US Latin1 keymap. Not only does it provides the same keys, it also adds the ability to obtain more accented characters as well as characters not otherwise found on the standard US International layout (French typographic quotes, Euro sign, ...). Please note also that the keymap provided is available only in text console mode. The X Window System is using a different keymap handling system that is incompatible with the Linux keymap handling system. Here is an excerpt of the specific characters that are obtained: Quote, backquote, circumflex and guillemot: a,e,i,o,u : acute, grave, circumflex, umflaut y : acute, umlaut c (quote) : c cedilla Tilde-able characters: n, a, o AltGr: ? : ¿ (inverted "?") ! : ¡ (inverted "!") y : yen c : cent p : English pound s : ¨ (8859-1: umlaut, 8859-15: s caron) z : ¸ (8859-1: cedilla, 8859-15: z caron) o : Ø (O bar) < : « (left French typographic quote) > : » (right French typographic quote) shift + o: ° (degree sign) e (with 8859-15) : Euro sign 5 (with 8859-15) : Euro sign Compose ("print screen" + sequence) o + e: ½ (8859-1: one half, 8859-15: bound "oe") a + e: æ (bound "ae") s + s: ß (German double-s) t + h: þ (Theta) " + c: © (copyright sign) " + r: ® (registered sign) - + o: º (superscript o) - + a: ª (superscript a) + + -: ± (more or less) ^ + s: ¨ (8859-1: umlaut, 8859-15: s caron) ^ + z: ¸ (8859-1: cedilla, 8859-15: z caron) ^ + x: × (cross) ^ + /: ÷ (divide) ^ + .: · (centered dot) Note that this list is based on the ISO-8859-15 character set. The descriptions for certain symbols might not be correct if you are using ISO-8859-1 although most of them are. Actually the characters displayed might not be conform to their description.
