Cool How to enter the Spanish inverted "?" symbol in OpenOffice Writer


Say, I installed OpenOffice v2.0 in Suse 10.0
--I selected to install USA Intnl. Keyboard WITH Dead Keys enabled (the ` ' ~ keys don't display anything when you hit them until an additional key is entered and then this last key shows with the accent on top of it).
--I also installed Spanish keyboard and dictionary / spellchecking.

Now, I can enter just about any accented character I want; however, I cannot find the key sequence that enters the Spanish upside down "?" character. The font is not the problem because, when I access the font to enter the character that way, I do indeed get the character and I enter it exactly where I want it. But this is a lame way of entering characters. It's the OpenOffice Writer menu clicking way of accessing the font.

So, can anyone tell me what's the keyboard key sequence to enter the Spanish inverted "?" ? Oh, and also for the inverted "!" (another Spanish peculiar gliph).

Many thanks.

This seems to be a good article on how to do it. Although it doesn't refer specifically to OpenOffice, OO uses xmodmap to get the keycodes for the keyboard. And this article refers to setting up the keycodes.
