Not completely, at least if you have an xterm, but it's a bit hit and
miss even there. You can enable 8 bit mode (which you need for the -m
flag of bindkey), then type ^V, then some key with the meta key
pressed down. For example, small e with an acute accent is \C-v\M-i
(in Emacs language), and holding down shift at the same time has the
obvious effect.

And what is the solution if the keys are remapped by xmodmap?
Zsh beeps if I press the key of aacute, for example.
On Linux I remapped the keys of the console also, so in an editor I can
type in everything in character mode. But typeing at the prompt zsh beeps
as in xterm...
Best regards,
Jozsef

I don't understand what the problem is. Just use the compose key...

Hi,
The reason why I couldn't type the special characters is solved,
thanks to Zoltán Hídvégi (:-), I couldn't resist...):
I had a 'bindkey -m' in the zshrc file.
Thanks the suggestions and the best regards,
József
