Accented characters and dead keys?
I recently upgraded to KDE 3.5.2, and I just noticed that the keyboard layout for "US International with dead keys" is missing. Is this a permanent change? Is there something I can do or install to get it back? How should I type in accented characters now?
RE: Accented characters and dead keys?
Go to the Configuration Center, Regional & Accessibility, Keyboard Layout. Enable the keyboard layouts, if that has not already been done. Choose the US Keyboard (which is presumably already selected) and choose as Variant: intl.

That did it. Thanks!
Are the different layout variants detailed somewhere? I did a quick search but found nothing.
No it's the same problem I had at exactly the same time you posted this question. I found out by accident, after being a bit angry that there was absolutely no documentation or any other references about this topic.

no keyboard layout available in control center
In control center > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Layout there is no layout available, not a single one, not even US. I assumed I should install a package that contains keyboard layouts, but I couldn't find any. Help please?
