I am Vietnamese, I use ibus to type Vietnamese on my Debian. I just started to learn Hungarian and I need to type some Hungarian characters which I can't type with ibus-unikey, like ë, ö, ő, ü or ű.

Other characters like á, ó,... I can type with no problems as we have them in Vietnamese as well.

I added Hungarian to my ibus but I still can't figure out how to type those characters.

If you know how or if you know there are instructions somewhere, please let me know. I really appreciate. Thanks!

You can configure and use the composeKey:

Under gnome Desktop :

From the system settings choose keyboard >> keyboard layouts >> option then Select position of compose key extend it and choose (eg: Caps Lock)

enter image description here

To get the accented character press :

[composeKey] + [accent character] + [letter]

e,g:

Caps Lock + " + o = ö

Caps Lock + " + u = ü

Caps Lock + " + e = ë

Caps Lock + " + i = ï

Caps Lock + ~ + a = ã

edit:

Caps Lock + " + Shift + o = Ö

Under Kde Desktop

system settings >> imput devices >> keyboard >> Advanced >> configure keyboard option >> compose key position extend it then make your choice.

    Thank you it works! I have a small question. If I press [Compose] + ["] + [o] I will get ó. [Compose] + [Shift] + ["] + [o] I will get Ö. How do I get the lowercase of Ö ? – Hung Tran Sep 22 '16 at 03:04

    As a sidenote, you'll need [compose] + [=] + [o] → ő – grin Nov 03 '16 at 07:48
  • @HungTran Re the lowercase of Ö — the pre-defined key sequences are in `/usr/share/X11/locale/compose/*/Compose` – gboffi Apr 23 '20 at 15:42
