1 Remap your keyboard in X! Ok, so not really a tool, but one of those
2 things you wish someone had told you about earlier. Excellent for
3 getting easy access to all those neat [unicode][unicode]
4 [[symbols|unicode_sampler]] (generated with [[gen_sampler.py]]).
6 You're welcome to my [[~/.Xmodmap|_Xmodmap]] file, which I version
7 with [[dotfiles]] so it stays up to date across several computers.
9 [gucharmap][] is a nice tool for finding Unicode encodings for
10 whichever character you're looking for.
12 Another approach to binding special characters is to use the
13 [[compose_key]]. For example, I use Xmodmap for Greek letters, and
14 XCompose for accented characters.
