Thanks before.

highlight text and click the mouse wheel
middle button or both buttons simultaneously
where you want text to appear.

May take a few attempts to get the hang of it . . .

@ bakekoq.....hello....

[russoodle]

bakekoq, if you have a wheel-mouse, it should work just by clicking it to paste the text....the simultaneous left-right buttons are only an alternative option for those without a wheel or third button.

thanks a lot for the help guys. I try it in wine notepad but it's not worked. but, after I try in Abiword it worked perfectly. So, I'll try to use abiword for the future to save the text from consoles.
@russoodle: I'll try to post my wireless problem after this post. Please help me for checking the log of dmesg or anothers.

[russoodle]

Well bakekoq, why not use Geany for pasting text, as it's a text editor? Unless you're more comfortable with AbiWord, which is actually a word-processor.....just my preference, mind you..

Regarding output (log) of dmesg, enter the following code into the console:

[bakekoq]

ok, I'll try to use Geany in the future. I'm still not familiar with linux and the programs here. so, I still don't know what's good or better for using. yes, I already post the log in the new thread. please help me for the future.

Thanks before.

You're welcome, bakekoq....you'll learn more as you go along anyway

I am experiencing a problem with shell. Many languages, like French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Esperanto and Vietnamese, to name a few ones, add diacritical marks to letters. One can say that 4/5 of the world population speak languages with diacritical marks. The Chinese, for example, use a system, called Hànyǔ pīnyīn, with diacritical marks to write their language, and teach children the pronunciation of traditional Chinese characters.

To add diacritical marks to letters, keyboards have the so called dead keys. If you want to write café, or coup d'état, bon appétit, à la vôtre santé, déjà vu, you need dead keys. The problem is that dead keys don't seem to work on console of Puppy Linux. They work everywhere, except in the console.

If I try to use the mouse and keyboard wizard, I discover that Puppy Linux offer me only one option: No dead keys. I would appreciate if a member of this community could tell me how to activate dead keys for the console.

I tried to edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, without success. By the way, dead keys don't work only in the console. They work very well for everything else. They also work inside Emacs. So, I am forced to use the consoles of Emacs (shell, eshell, ansi-term bash, etc.

It is interesting that dead keys work for Lucid Puppy, but not for the other distributions of Puppy Linux.
