1 Add the [compose key][wikipedia] to your [[Xmodmap]] file with something like
3 keycode 134 = Multi_key
5 The compose key has it's own unicode symbol: ⎄, which I'll use in the
6 following composition tables.
85 As you can imagine, the list goes on and on. The compositing system
86 depends on your application (see the [Ubuntu wiki][ubuntu] for Gnome
87 notes), but if you're using the X Input Method (XIM), your compose
88 table depends on your locale:
92 $ grep $LANG\$ /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir
93 en_US.UTF-8/Compose en_US.UTF-8
94 en_US.UTF-8/Compose: en_US.UTF-8
95 $ less /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
97 If you want to customize your compose keys, just add your own rules to
98 an `~/.XCompose` file:
103 <Multi_key> <h> <o> <m> <e> : "http://tremily.us/" # Home page
105 Read `Compose(5)` for more information. You may need to log out and
106 log back in (or use the [[newgrp]] trick) for your new `~/.XCompose`
