-==========
+.XCompose
+=========
-When you run Ispell,
-it remembers what words you’ve added to your “personal dictionary”.
-Unfortunately,
-most of those words are real words
-in ordinary English.
-Why should all of us add them to our dictionaries separately?
+As explained in <http://canonical.org/~kragen/setting-up-keyboard.html>,
+your Compose key in X11 is controlled by (among other things) the file
+`.XCompose` in your home directory. This file gives you a large set
+of bindings for Unicode characters that are useful occasionally.
-If you use `flyspell-mode` in Emacs ≤22,
-you’re using Ispell.
-If you also use Unix,
-this tiny package
-will let you share the work of adding modern words
-(“memristor”, “hyperlinks”, lowercase “internet”)
-and acronyms
-(“IRC”, “IrDA”, “URL”)
-with other users of Ispell.
+More contributions are welcome; there's a Git repository at
+<http://github.org/kragen/xcompose>. We're trying to come up with a
+broadly acceptable set of keybindings that won't interfere with the
+traditional Compose bindings, aren't too hard to type, and cover a
+wide set of characters that are useful to use occasionally, making
+them available without the need for specialized input methods.
