Dear ĸen, dear all,

Thanks a lot for your nice and long answer.

In the meantime, I have also found another thread in the archives of this list that could be also relevant for my problem:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2013-February/055490.html

and

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2013-February/055491.html

but since I have no idea how IBUS is working and that it seems to be quite complicated, I would like maybe to try something with XCompose, unless it does not work in a long term vision or in a stable way for a combination of a letter and a diacritic sign...

As a temporary solution, I have indeed mapped the dead keys like dead_belowmacron and dead_belowcircumflex, but I would prefer to have these keys mapped with a modifier, i.e. in a third keysym (i.e. with AltGr) for this keycode with a modifier like the example that I already gave:

key <AE01> { [ ampersand, 1, i_breve_below, U032F ] };

It means that I would like to type i with an inverted breve below in the AE01 key by pressing the AltGr modifier before that.



So for your i with breve below, on the right side I would put
  : "ḭ" U1E2D

Please note that all the compositions that I have created in XCompose correspond to characters that have currently no Unicode number assigned to. So U1E2D is for i with a tilde below and not for i with inverted breve below. All the other examples that you kindly gave me are also already numbered Unicode characters, which is here not the case.

Thanks again!

Best,

Pierre-Luc
