Now, if you select the M17N-t-latn-pre input method in the
SCIM panel, you can get these Dutch characters by typing

    "i -> ï
    "e -> ë
    "a -> ä

(left side is what you type, right side is what is inserted,
for a complete list of the key-combinations offered by
the M17N-t-latn-pre input method, have a look at the file
/usr/share/m17n/latn-pre.mim).

***That is a good method. It is what I was used to when I still worked with M$ Windows years ago, but instinctively you like to type " + e(or a, o, u) to get  ë, ä, ö, ü. Or, other systems may use : + e, a, o, etcetera.
As you use German yourself, Mike, if I may assume that, you need to use the "Umlauted" vowels much more. Which input method do you use if I may ask? I mean, you'd surely want a lot of shortcut keys, don't you?

SCIM also has a "raw code" input method where you can insert
the unicode code point.

***I like that one too, you need a fine memory though, but I have to remember 4 numbers for my bank pass as well ;-)

In the SCIM setup dialog, you can define hotkeys to switch between
input methods. I.e. you may define key combinations to switch between
your favorite Korean input method and the M17N-t-latn-pre input
method.

***I'll take a look at that. One question, does the SCIM setup menu differ for different (SuSE) Linux versions? I have a feeling I can't discover all the possibilities you mention.

regards,
herman
