Wink Apple-like accented keys


Apple has a very nice method of inputing accented charactors, just option+n + n to get ñ and just option + something to get a lot of useful keys. Is there a simple way get similar function in linux. I'm using KDE 3.5 and it looks like (k)xkb can configure something along these lines, but the documentation I found was not completely helpful and my experementation did not lead anywhere. I would like to use the "windows" key as the option key if possiable.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
