Yes. I would like [^] to act as a dead key when it's useful and as a normal key when it's not. > In any case, since you use plain xterms, you can create compose sequences > that you add in your ~/.XCompose > that cover those combinations that dead_circumflex is not supposed to work > with. > For example, for 'b', you would add the line > > <dead_circumflex> <b> : "^b" > <dead_circumflex> <B> : "^B" > > These two rules say that when you press the keys before the ':', you get > the string after the ':' (the string in quotes). Very good, thank you (and Alan). It's tedious and fundamentally insane but it works. Except for control characters which don't have a keysym, i.e. most of them. If someone ever considers adding a pragmatic-dead-keys flag to XKB, they have my vote. -- André Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
