Re: [dwm] key bindings / french layout

You might also want to map the 'Multi_key' to a key of your keyboard (in
my case, RAlt, keycode 113); this would make the key a 'dead key': press
it, press the modifier and finally press the letter. Alright, that makes
3 keys for one character; but it allows you to make a lot of other
characters.

Examples:
    Multi_key + ' + e = é
    Multi_key + ` + e = è
    Multi_key + , + c = ç
but also
    Multi_key + c + c = č
    Multi_key + o + u = ů
    Multi_key + ~ + n = ñ
    Multi_key + c + t = ť
or almost anything you can think of (useful if you want to write in
several languages).
