- Synopsis:
- bind <key> enter_digraph
-
- Description:
- This function allows special characters not present on the keyboard to
- be composed, such as European characters containing accents, umlauts,
- or tildes. The exact characters available are dependent on the
- character set in use by the client.
-
- To enter a digraph, the key bound to this function is typed, followed
- by the desired character pair.
-
- In order for the client to properly display these characters, the
- appropriate character map must be used; the default ASCII translation
- table will not work. Additionally, the client must be set to pass 8
- bit characters (also disabled by default).
-
- By default, EPIC uses the same digraphs as available on the DEC vt320
- and vt420 terminal emulators, and those used in the Elvis text editor.
- The DIGRAPH command with no arguments will list the current table.
