Origin of scrolling mouse

It's entertaining, if annoying, that RFC2047-encoding has now created at least three subject lines for this thread. I'm using Xrn in non- threaded mode sorted-by-subject mode - purely for personal preference - so the thread's rather broken up for me. Personally, I'd rather people didn't stick non-ASCII characters in the subject header unless there's good reason. But that's what the OP did, and we're stuck with it.

Yes. What I want really is a single dedicated compose key, so I could hit eg. Compose-e-' to get e-accute. And I'd want the driver to be programmable, so that if it didn't recognize, say, Compose-Z-v for Z-caron, I could add that. (Curiously, Z-carron and z-caron are the diacriticals I need most often these days.)

Sometimes that's what I do, though I also often just look up the Alt-four-digit-sequence in CharMap and use that. When I'm using LyX, sometimes the necessary character (the aforementioned Z-caron, for example) isn't supported directly but can be done in TeX, so I end up just using the regular character while typing, then later editing the file in vim and doing a search-and-replace with the appropriate TeX enbreasty (ERT, in LyX terminology).
