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. |
