How-to find which key acts as a Compose key on the console on specific keyboard?
by Didier Spaier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52J8E)
I ask because the key Compose is used by default to trigger running a script by the Fenrir screen reader.
On my laptop's keyboard it's the "right window key" between AltGr and Ctrl on the right of the space bar, but it can be another key on other keyboards, which make hard for userd to know how run Fenrir scripts, like the one used in Slint to switch languages on the fly.
I know that the Compose function can be bound to a key under X with various utilities, and that in Debian the console-setup application can do this setting for both X and the console, but in a Slackware distribution, how can I:
1. know which key can be used as a Compose key in the Linux console (not in a graphical environment) when using some keyboard?
2. possibly set another one?
