To do that without using an x input method you need to define symbols for the sequences, put those symbols into the xkb file and add mappings from those symbols to the character sequences into the Compose tables. An example can be seen in the Arabic Lam-Alef ligatures section of the en_US.UTF-8/Compose file. (In that case the symbols happen to be unicode characters in their own right, but only because they were part of a legacy encoding for which unicode wanted to support 1:1 round trip conversions. They were added to that legacy encoding to be used exactly for the purpose of facilitating keyboard entry of a character sequence.) You would need to be defined symbols in keysymdef.h for each string with integer values outside of the range specified for unicode/iso10646. The above is the how. Whether it is reasonable policy, especially as compared to an xim is a question I'll leave for others. In the xim case, ibus (as suggested in the other reply) and scim are good choices. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ 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
