  Dead/Compose key maps
Dead key and compose key maps for the integrated console are both implemented through the mapchan command which uses a common configuration file.
Compose key maps are specified similarly to dead keys.
As with dead keys, the compose sequences are specified as input mappings and the compose key is specified using the compose keyword.

 Dead Key
Danish, with 5 dead keys ^, ', `, ~, and diaeresis
A key is dead if when you type it, no character appear until you type a second letter key.

  Typewriter operating attachment providing for dead key operations - Patent 4405244
Dead key mechanism (11) on the attachment responds to a dead key signal in conjunction with a print signal by suppressing the character spacing escapement operation of the typewriter that normally follows printing of a character.
In the simplest adaptation of existing systems to the dead key operations of the present invention, the dead key signal bit on channel 102a may be directly transmitted to the buffer storage 101 and on to tape storage 103 along with the other bits of the set of signals to which the dead bit belongs.
Dead key interposer 41a is held at the forward or operated position for a longer portion of the cycle to prevent escape of the typewriter during the cycle.

A dead key is a key on a typewriter or a computer keyboard that produces no output when it is pressed, but modifies the output of the next key pressed after it.
Dead keys are commonly used to generate letters with accents (diacritics), because that way one does not need one key for each possible combination of letter and accent, but only one key for each accent (the dead key) plus the usual letter keys.
Caps Lock is a dead key, however Ctrl and Shift aren't, since they have to be held down to use.

 What is dead key? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
(ded kē) (n.) A key on a computer's keyboard that when pressed by itself produces no output character but only works in conjunction with another key, effectively changing the output of the key that is pressed immediately after the dead key.
For example, dead keys commonly are used when inputting characters with accent marks; the dead key is pressed, which indicates that the next letter input by the keyboard will appear with the accent mark.
The dead key will modify only characters that are accepted in the language in which the user is typing.

Key repeat (automatic generation of keyevents when a key is held down) results in a sequence of a KeyDown event, followed by multiple keypress events, terminated by a KeyUp event.
Key listeners are responsible for knowing when to use key codes and when to use char codes.
Dead keys (such as keyboard input used to generate accented characters) generate the same event sequence as normal keys.

Dead keys are keys that when hit do not display anything on the keyboard until the next key is entered.

If the second key is for a character that does not take a diacritical mark, then two characters are displayed the first being a basic value for the key.

 Keyboard events and key identifiers   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When a key cannot be mapped to Unicode, a specific identifier is used (see also Guidelines for defining key identifiers).
Unlike the handwriting sequence, in which users enter the base character first, keyboard input requires to enter a special state when a dead key is pressed and emit the character(s) only when one of a limited number of "legal" base character is entered.
As an example, the Enter key is mapped to the key identifier "Enter" and not to "U+000A" (Line Feed), given that this key generates the character 00000A on Unix operating systems and the characters 00000D and 00000A on Windows operating systems.

 David Ross -- PGP Public Key Servers
This page assumes the reader understands how to generate a PGP key pair and what it means to sign someone else's key or to revoke your own key.
Just because you obtained a public key from a server does not mean that the key is authentic, that the actual owner is really who he or she claims to be.
When you urgently need to revoke your public key because either your private key or passphrase has been compromised, a server that is slow to synchronize can be as catastrophic as a server that does not synchronize at all.

 Keyboard events and key identifiers
As an example, receiving a keydown for the "Accept" key identifier does not necessarily imply that the text currently selected in the IME is being accepted.
If the key is part of a sequence of several keystrokes, whether it is a dead key or it is contributing to an Input Method Editor sequence, the keystroke is ignored (not taken into account) only if the default action is canceled on the keydown event.
As an example, the Enter key is mapped to the key identifier "Enter" and not to "U+000A" (Line Feed), given that this key generates the character "U+000A" on Unix operating systems and the characters "U+000D" and "U+000A" on Windows operating systems.

This is a way of generating accented characters by first pressing a key which corresponds to the accent (the dead key) and then a letter key (e.g.
For example, the backtick key is often used as a dead key and generates four different accents depending on whether it's pressed alone or with combinations of Shift and AltGr (the right Alt key).
Dead keys are a good solution for characters that are seldom used, but for characters that need to be typed often, we need a more convenient technique.

The term "dead key" is usually used to refer to keys such as the accents and the tilde ~ which don't produce output when you press them alone but instead combine with the key pressed afterwards.
The difference between the dead key and the modifier is that you don't hold down the dead key.
A modifier always has to be held down to do something (unless you're using special accessibility features which can indeed make modifiers behave as dead keys although I think you would rather call that a sticky modifier, not a dead key).
