   Inverted question mark in 15.0   
   17 Mar 22 15:56:26   
   
   From: noone@nowhere.net   
      
   	I occasionally have to use the Spanish inverted question mark in   
   my emails. In order to be able to do that with my US keyboard in my   
   Slackware 15.0 Xfce desktop, I have an .xmodmaprc file in my home   
   directory containing the following line:   
      
   	keycode 134 = Multi_key   
      
   which defines the right Windows key (between Alt and the other Windows-   
   like key) to be the Compose key.   
      
   After invoking   
      
   	$ xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc   
      
   from a terminal, in 14.2 I was able to obtain the inverted question mark   
   as follows:   
      
   	1) Press and release the Compose key.   
   	2) Press and release '?' - i.e. SHIFT and ? at the same time.   
   	3) Press and release '?'.   
      
   This does not seem to work under 15.0 any longer - when I try it I get   
      
   	������   
      
   This seems to be so everywhere: terminal emulator, Thunderbird, browser,   
   etc.   
      
   	Anybody know how to get, under 15.0, the behavior I used to get   
   under 14.2?
