I cannot find the Compose Key.
I have searched the Forums, however there is only one hit on "compose key" and it is about something else. As an aside, I discovered that CTL + . produced an ellipsis.
I am used to being able to set the compose key using the keyboard settings, but that does not help me. I want to set the right-hand ALT key as the compose key. I need accents and punctuation like ellipsis (…), upside down question (¿) and exclamation (¡) marks. I am writing this on my desktop computer which is running Linux Mint, so I know it can be done.
The other thing is just a minor annoyance. I am fumble-fingered and end up hitting the Caps Lock key by accident when I mean to press the Shift key (I learnt to touch-type on a typewriter).
How do I resolve the above? \I would be grateful for any assistance.
