Good Day Everyone!
I wonder how I can find out which key combination prints a specific
character, generally, I mean when the character is not printed on the
keyboard itself.
Does TDE support the KCharSelect application?
Back in KDE 3, I would use:
Start menu > Utilities > More Applications > KCharSelect
and then copy the characters I needed.
Admittedly it was a bit lacking in features, more modern key caps
apps allow you to search for the name of a character, but for my needs
it worked well.
Case: I want to print the symbol for TM (trade mark)
but I don't know
the keys to get it.
I presume you know that googing for the name often allows you to copy
the needed character?
https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=trade+mark+character
gives me ™ and leads me to the Wikipedia page, which tells me that it is
the Unicode code point U+2122 and that on Linux you can type Compose-TM
to get it. Now if only I knew what the compose key on my keyboard is :-(
