Pidgin and accented characters
Forgive me if this is an FAQ but I've searched Pidgin's own site and can find no reference to it.
How does one type accented characters in a Pidgin IM window?
If I'm using most other programmes (including Thunderbird and Windows Live Messenger) I get é by using CTRL+ALT+e, í with CTRL+ALT+i and so on (as I'm doing now). I can also get the Euro symbol € by typing CTRL+ALT+4.
These key combinations don't work in Pidgin.
In Ireland we use € and in Irish one uses áéíóú (accent is called a fada but is the same as the French acute).
Regards
Nick
