**Again, pointing to a modifier key was no longer an option. Pressing ctrl+u and the hex code, also did nothing. I did not want to go through all of setxkbmap options, poking and prodding here and there. How could I know the UTF-8 and UTF-1 6 encoding for a character, but fail to type it on my own computer? What did I do wrong? I knew! Since I was using XFCE, it had to be XFCE´s fault. Prodding around with XFCE and its related forums, I ended up where I started. Modifier key... Maybe it was because I did a minimal install? I suppose there was no option but to go fetch the terminal and sudo. (Admit it, you always get those two when there is a problem to be handled).** | **Again, pointing to a modifier key was no longer an option. Pressing ctrl+u and the hex code, also did nothing.

home, I decided to do it all over on my home PC to check if I can see where I made my mistake. My home PC is a Solus install. The regional settings came to mind.

again in the layout display, and that is when I saw it! Somehow, I had gotten so lazy with the easy installation of Linux, that I had the installer choose my keyboard. I noticed English (US). Choosing English (Intl) brought back all my special keys with a simple right-alt key press. (Lesson learnt with blindly pressing next).** | again in the layout display, and that is when I saw it!

**This made everything easy again. I could whiz in and out of text files or Anki with umlauts and whatnot. This made me hungry for learning more, and I actually found that the other European languages have sentence construction similar to the local vernacular. Now I am learning ten new languages with the help of open source tools and enjoying it immensely. I really wish I could have discovered this thirty years earlier. Mistakes will be made. Just be prepared to walk away from the problem to get a fresh perspective. I have lots of problems, but Linux is not one of them.** | **This made everything easy again.
