Entering Characters in Amaya

To enter ISO-Latin characters that are not directly available from the keyboard, Amaya uses the standard support provided by the Operating System. An optional multi-key support is also provided for Motif versions and Windows versions.

Amaya provides a mechanism for assigning Keyboard Shortcuts to characters that are not directly available from the keyboard. Some of them are pre-defined:

See the description of two multi-key input methods:

When two methods are available, you choose the method you want to use by selecting Enable multi-key in the General Preferences dialog box, available from the Special menu. When enabled, Amaya activates the optional multi-key support, and deactivates the standard multi-key support.
