.XCompose
=========
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.
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.
After installing `.XCompose` you will need to restart any applications
to see its effect for that application. Not all applications support
XCompose, and it depends on which input method you are using.
