[oXygen-user] Keyboarding accented characters?

[Espen S. Ore]

Thank you for your quick reply!

Basically Alt Right (AltGr on my keyboard) works in all other editors 
except for Oxygen. In addition the dead key accents I have on my 
keyboard (where I don't need to use the Alt Right) also don't work in 
oxygen but in everything else. And if I change keyboard to Greek 
keyboard - and this is especially important for my Oxygen use - this 
keyboard change is ignored in Oxygen but works again in everything else.

I have just downloaded the oxygen 10.2 for Linux and will send a message 
if this makes any difference.

Best regards,
Espen
