I recently discovered the Composecompose key. It's wonderful to type Compose-> and get a Unicode right-arrow (→).
The bindings are largely intuitive, once you understand some repeating patterns:
- Composing something with a slash tends to produce a "crossed out" symbol (e.g. Compose/o → "ø" and Compose/= → "≠"), and
- composing with a double-quote adds a diaresis (e.g. Compose"a → "ä"). Similarly with a back-tick for a grave accent or an apostrophe for an acute accent.
Weird ones too: ComposeCCCP → "☭" (Unicode Soviet hammer-and-sickle.)
I know I can I can addadd my own too, but such repeating patterns indicate that someone has already thought about these. Where can I find a complete chart of the default definitions?where can I find a complete chart of the defaults?
The lists in Wikipedia and in Ubuntu documentation are incomplete and their references list broken links.
The largest list I could find is this one fromat freedesktop.org. However, it doesn't seem totally authoritative eitherseems imperfect too: ItFor example, it lists a combination ComposeFU as producing "reversed hand with middle finger extended", which—quite disappointingly—doesn't work for me…
Is there somewhere these are stored on my actual live system?
