I happen to be a German native....

With vim you use ^K as compose character (stoopid Intel PCs lack a real=20
keyboard).

<compose>o" gives =F6.
<compose>"A gives =C4.
<compose>ss gives =DF.
<compose>,c gives =E7.
<compose>~N gives =D1.
<compose>oe gives =F7.
<compose>/o gives =F8.=20
<compose>^u gives =FB,
<compose>'e gives =E9.
<compose> `a gives =E0.

etc... all in ISO 8859-1. Works on the console, in an xterm, even with KD=
E.
