Hi, I test it by typing the letter from the keyboard (using shift / without it based on the layout specification) from the same terminal (Konsole) that i use setxkbmap to change to my layout. Then I run another terminal using the desktop link and try tying it. Then I try in Kate. And finally I reboot and try in Kate again.ajith

One thing that would be helpful for us to know: How are you *testing* whether the .XCompose mechanism "works"? That is, after making changes to the ~/.XCompose file, what applications do you use for testing? Do you use xterm? Some other terminal emulator? Firefox? Several applications? Which ones? Do they all yield the same results? >> Please tell me what I am missing. [snip] -- What do you want to take off? [hrzF or ?*] F You were wearing a +0 robe. The frost giant turns to flee.
