Remapping keyboard to get OSX-like accents

Is there a way I can remap my keyboard in order to get OSX-like accents, to wit:
-Map Alt+e to dead_acute (for instance Alt+e, a should produce á)
-Map Alt+i to dead_circumflex (for instance Alt+i, o should produce ô)
-Map Alt+c to ccedilla
Thanks in advance,

I don't know if this helps, but I have a US layout keyboard on my Desktop and also on my Lenovo x121e and to get some characters I need in X I have:
In
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Xkb_Layout" "us"
Option "Xkb_Variant" "alt-intl"
EndSection
In ~/.Xmodmap:
! Xmodmap
!keycode 66 = ISO_Level3_Shift
keycode 66 = Mode_switch NoSymbol Mode_switch
clear mod5
add mod5 = ISO_Level3_Shift
keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keycode 32 = o O otilde Otilde
keycode 38 = a A atilde Atilde
keycode 39 = s S ssharp S
keycode 26 = e E EuroSign
keycode 54 = c C ccedilla Ccedilla
keycode 58 = m M mu
Caps Lock, keycode 66 (you get that with xev) is transformed into a shift key.
CapsLock + u gives ü
CapsLock + s gives ß
Capslock + e gives €
and so on.

  • Difficulty remapping keyboard shortcuts on OSX

    Pretty obscure problem here. I am trying to use the little-known OSX built-in method of remapping keyboard shortcuts (System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Application Shortcuts) to customize things, specifically to add a shortcut to access the add-ons menu. I did this a few weeks ago and I see my shortcut next to the menu item, but triggering the shortcut never opens it up. I see the Tools menu flash, but nothing ever really happens.
    As far as I know, the problem isn't exclusive to the Add-ons item. I have also noticed this same problem with Thunderbird. It worked with the old Unsanity Haxie, Menu Master, but this is not compatible with 10.6. (I am running 10.6.4)
    I'm guessing that this is some kind of underlying problem with the Mac version of both products. Any help or referral to where I can report this is appreciated.

    I'm getting this problem with the PasswordMaker plugin. I had the problem before attempting to remap keys. I remapped keys with the suggested keyconfig extension in an attempt to solve the problem, but no dice.
    FF version 3.6.3
    OSX version 10.6.6
    Other items in the Tools menu work. PasswordMaker fails with the problem described above:
    'but triggering the shortcut never opens it up. I see the Tools menu flash, but nothing ever really happens. '
    The extension works on all other OSes I have tried (Win XP, Win 7 and Linux Ubuntu.).
    I've seen this behaviour before when a modal task in Photoshop (text editing) was blocking shortcuts.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I get OSX 10.0 I'd like to upgrade from 10.6.8

    How do I get OSX 10.0 I'd like to upgrade from 10.6.8
    When I go to the dowloads page only higher versions of OX 10 are available online and I can't get to them unless I have OX10.0  Any advice?

    Do you mean 10.8? Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) is a paid upgrade (see Software update, upgrade--what's the difference?). You can purchase it for $19.99 in the Mac App Store. Make sure your Mac is compatible: http://apple.com/osx/specs/.

  • How do you get OSX to rescan the attached hardware

    For some reason, OSX often 'misses' one or more of the attached USB devices during boot-up. It seems to be random and usually can be corrected by rebooting. To make matters worse, I usually don't find out somethings missing until I try to use it which means taking down all running applications before the reboot. In Windows you can go to the device manager and have it 'scan for new hardware'. Is there an equivalent in OSX? It would save a lot of time.

    I've tried 4 different brand hubs with the same result. I hav e a few clues as to what is going on. For example my Bella keyboard will only work plugged directly into the iMac. Even plugging it into the Cinema display's USB outputs fails (i.e. an Apple hub). I have a Wacom graphics graphics tablet. If I leave the pen or its mouse on the pad during the boot process, the tablet usually isn't found. Plugging devices directly into the iMac never fails, but there are only three USB ports. One's connected to the Cinema display and as I said its hub fails just like the others. One USB port is used by the keyboard as explained above. This leaves one iMac port for everything else. Since multiple USB devices must be online simultaneously, no choice but to use a hub. I have found that if I boot up with just the hub attached, then plug the hardware into it one-by-one, this always works. I'm relatively certain that if I could slow down the boot-up port scan (i.e. getting the OS to pause for a few milliseconds between port addresses) it would work OK. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this either.
    I see no option other than to use a hub. Now I just need to find some way to get OSX to rescan the USB busses.

  • I bouhght my computer a week ago and I spilled a liquid on my keyboard , and i would like to know how much coast to repaid the damage , i didnt buy in the offical apple shop.

    i bouhght my Macbook pro retina display 13 Inch i5  a week ago and I spilled a liquid on my keyboard , and i would like to know how much coast to repair the damage in apple store , i didnt buy in the offical apple shop. Some places are asking to pay 620 Pounds.

    The only way you can get a valid estimate is by someone examining the MBP directly.  Since no one on these forums can see or examine your MBP, you will need to get this infomation from a qualified repair shop.  It seems that you already have secured one estimate.  You can also bring the MBP to an Apple store and have a genius bar examine it for FREE.
    Ciao.

  • I have a 3rd party SSD to put in my mac mini how do i get osx on it i do not have a external hard drive

    I want to put a 3rd party SSD in my mac mini and I no how to put in inside the mac mini but, how do I get osx on it preferably Yosemite I do not have a external hard drive just the one that comes with the mac mini and my 3rd party internal SSD please help me.

    The easy way is to Purchase an External Enclosure like the Startech USB 3.0 S2510BPU33 with UASP, its a Super Fast connection, SATA 3.1 @ 6 Gb/s.
    Just Pop your SSD inside the enclosure and use OS X Disk Utility to clone your existing HDD. This enclosure is So Fast you would not even have to open up your Mini to install the SSD, just Boot Externally you would Never Know the difference and your Warranty won't be affected by opening it up.
    What Mini do you have ?

    We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
    Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

  • My pages are not loading correctly---get index-like pages.

    Web pages like NASCAR.COM, The Daily Beast are not loading correctly. All I get are lists of links.
    ''moderator edited the title of this thread''

    ''get index-like pages for NASCAR.COM, The Daily Beast''
    For nascar.com if I turn off page styling it kind of looks like indexes.
    From the View menu (Alt+V) see if what you have for Page Style -- if you have a theme try Basic Style to see if it fixes, and try "No style" to see if it looks the same as you currently see.
    Besides themes, styles, and GreaseMonkey scripts you might have an extension such as Adblock Plus blocking some styles.

  • I am planning to buy apple air mac book. i am not that technical will i be able to handle apple mac book. i am aware of using windows os but can i get software like that of notepad, word pad in os X lion. can i get partitioning in macbook,

    I am planning to buy apple air mac book. i am not that technical will i be able to handle apple mac book. i am aware of using windows os but can i get software like that of notepad, word pad in os X lion. can i get partitioning in macbook,

    Yes.  Switching to Mac might be overwhelming at first, but it is not difficult.  I Just started using Macs regularly about 9 months ago after using only Windows based pc's for over 15 years.  Macs come with TextEdit , but you can also purchase MS Office for Mac or use Apple's version, called iWork.Yes, you can partition the hard drive of a Mac.  Read these also: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/.  With regular use of a Mac, you will be able to use it without even thinking about it, just like how you learned to use a WIndows pc.

  • How do i get OSX LION back on the computer?

    I dropped my laptop and the hard drive is no longer working. I am going to purchase a new hard drive and install it but my question is how do i get OSX LION back on the computer? I will be installing a new bare drive and I heard that Lion is download only. I also want to make sure i get all the apps i had back too. any help or guidance is appreciated. thanks!

    this is my opinion. but in this case, you need to install previous OS that has a dvd, which in my case, i installed Snow Leopard first. it cost 30 dollars new.
    after you have SL operates and do all software updates, you can download lion and install it over snow leopard.
    hope someone here have a better and quicker solution straight to Lion.
