In Gvim I can enter 'e-umlaut' via the keystrokes 'control-k e : ', ie ë .
Kate has a Vi mode, which seems to reproduce Vim fairly well,
but there's no sign of 'control-k' or any substitute.
KDE System Settings has a menu for setting a compose key,
but tests with 'left-control' & 'pause' in Konsole & Kate did nothing.
I tried in Kate with Luxi Mono & Courier(IBM), Konsole with LM & Fixed(Misc).
I don't have the KDE desktop pkgs installed, but use many apps
& it shouldn't make a difference.
Does anyone know if & how accented characters cb entered in KDE apps ?

Typing Macrons, Umlauts, Accents, ...
The compose key will be now whatever you have configured it to be, e. g. right
logo.
Macrons
compose + shift + hyphen then <vowel >
or
compose + underscore then <vowel >
-->
āēīōū ĀĒĪŌŪ
Umlauts
compose + shift + <single quote> then <vowel >
or
compose + <double quotes> then <vowel >
-->
äëïöü ÄËÏÖÜ

... as I said above, it doesn't work.
Thanks for trying, but please read the full msg before doing so (smile).

On a German keyboard layout I type AltGr+ü and then the letter: äöüïëÿ
Cheers,

I don't want to change keyboard layouts, which isn't needed with Gvim.
I booted into Mandriva 10 Spring, which I have on another partition
but don't use except for testing stuff occasionally, & got it to work there :
SystemSettings -> C/R + Language -> KeyboardLayout -> Advanced
-> Compose key position -> Left Ctl ; Kwrite complies : 'Ctl c ,' -> 'ç' .
KDE System Settings in my usual Gentoo system doesn't show C/R+Language,
but offers the Compose-key options under Hardware -> Keyboard -> Advanced.
I don't have the whole of KDE installed, only what I need
to support the apps I use, so perhaps there's a pkg I need to add.
Does anyone have further suggestions ?
Thanks for those offered so far.

Further investigation shows that both in Mandriva & in Gentoo
the file ~/.kde4/share/config/kxkbrc has a line 'Options=compose:lctrl',
so for some reason Kwrite & Kate are not recognising that setting.
