I mean e.g. alt+*+a means alpha, etc. Yes. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey has some information on the X11 Compose sequence mechanism. I have been meaning to prepare something in p9p to generate a config that makes the X11 compose do exactly what p9p does (except maybe the alt-X for spelling out Unicode by hex). If you make one, please post it. mklatinkbd is probably a good start. Russ
