 Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 7:50 am Post subject: no multi_key in openoffice >=2.0 |
 |
|
i have an us keyboard but need to work with symbols like é etc. so i got a multi key defined - no problem (right windows key). for some reason this does not work in openopffice (bin or compiled) >=2.0.
openoffice seems to swallow the keys pressed alltogether (multikey + first + 2nd). (in konsole -using kde - or firefox it works without a problem)
in some oo document it says that it should work with multi_keys. using deadkeys is no option. |

As a first try to help, and without any information from your box...
OpenOffice seems to have some issues when not using Unicode (UTF- , even though everything else works perfectly. Do you have UTF-8 locales in your /etc/locale.gen? If not, add the and rerun locale.gen, maybe that will help. |

i did just find a: /etc/locales.build:
# This file names the list of locales to be built when glibc is installed.
# The format is <locale>/<charmap>, where <locale> is a locale from the
# /usr/share/i18n/locales directory, and <charmap> is name of one of the files
# in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. All blank lines and lines starting with # are
# ignored. Here is an example:
# en_US/ISO-8859-1
en_US/ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8
ja_JP.EUC-JP/EUC-JP
ja_JP.UTF-8/UTF-8
ja_JP/EUC-JP
en_HK/ISO-8859-1
en_PH/ISO-8859-1
de_DE/ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro/ISO-8859-15
es_MX/ISO-8859-1
fa_IR/UTF-8
fr_FR/ISO-8859-1
fr_FR@euro/ISO-8859-15
it_IT/ISO-8859-1
as far as i know i have a utf system. but no LANG or LC_* variable set.
openoffice is installed with english and german as possible languages. the user interface is english and the spellchecker is the german one.
i moved the multi_key around (first it was ctrl-shift), but no difference.
i found the solution: I need to start openoffice like:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ooffice2
good to know... thanks you pointed the right way  |
