I can't add to (X)Compose, the file does not load
I try to add this line to the Compose file
Code:
<Multi_key> <e> <h> : "ɛ" U025B I tried creating Code:
~/.XCompose Code:
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose With a modification in place, I've opened a new terminal, tried with su - myloginname, restarting X and completely logging in from the console. The modified Compose never loads, nor does ~/.XCompose block existing lines when I don't add anything or modify an existing line without loading the default one. I don't know how to proceed. :-( (Slackware 14.2, openbox) |
Works here. Are you sure you're pressing the correct compose key?
On mine, using a uk keyboard and 'gb' keymap, the compose key defaults to shift-altgr, but your Xorg.conf or desktop environment settings (if you're using one) may change it to something else. alt-gr on it's own is usually configured to <ISO_Level3_shift> rather than <Multi_key>. In operation, it can look like it's doing Compose because some of the mappings will map to 'dead' accent keys, giving a similar effect with certain sequences. Also, be aware that GTK apps don't tend to use XCompose(XIM), they have their own input methods. I'm not sure what it is currently as I haven't paid much attention to it in a while, but it used to default to SCIM. |

I set my compose key in ~/.xinitrc. Code:
xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = Multi_key" |
