Hello,
At work, I press cntl-shift and swap between English and Spanish keyboard
layboard (windoze). How can I do something similar in Firefox (and Mepis in general).
I need to insert accented characters such as e' and n~ (ISO Latin1). I can do
this in OO by "insert symbol", but I need a more generic solution. I've looked
at lots web of entries, but every one seems to want to have a language (other than
English), and I want Spanish, French, and German (though I can by without Eszett).
thanks in advance.

Make sure "Enable Keyboard Layouts" is ticked and then play around with Switching Options and XKb Options
I'm not typing this from Mepis but I know it is possible in either KDE or gnome to switch between 2 (or more) layouts with alt+shift

Use the wiki http://www.mepis.org/docs
Post to http://www.mepislovers.com -- great forum
Note also there is a "KDE keyboard tool" not sure if Mepis includes it but normally it shows on the toolbar with a flag of the US -- you can right click it to change layouts. It's called Kxkb
