Comment (by pulkomandy):
Hi,
I think you are mistaked on what a "dead key" is. As the name implies,
pressing a dead key does nothing (the key is "dead"), and you are expected
to combine it with another character to get a result.
The behavior you describe in BeOS sounds more like a compose key, which is
something different. I don't think we have support for it yet.
I'm not sure what to do with the Alt+` shortcut. It is physically mapped
to the key above tab (whatever the symbol is there) but if it conflicts
with proper use of that key, it should probably be moved elsewhere.
