New method of keyboard configuration

Hi all,
I already changed several distributions (now I am on Suse 9.3),
all with KDE.
My first one was Mandrake and when I upgraded to 10.1, at the end
I found the solution to my keyboard configuration problem, that is
to get accented letters (I am Italian but I use a USA keyboard)
without using the classical method of xmodemap.
But this has been possible only because with mdk the Alt key
on the right is already configured to generate a lot of symbols
by pressing it together with other keys.
When I switched to other distributions I wasn't able any more to
find such a configuration.
Can you help me? I suspect that it is a KDE configuration (perhaps
made using kcharselect?).
To find if the Alt key is configured is very easy:

Quoted

pressing Alt + "2" --> twosuperior

Or... symbols like that.
The solution I found is useful also for English people:

Quoted

Alt + "<" --> "("
Alt + ">" --> ")"
(useful expecially for programmers)

Bye.
