Those symbols are very nice, which tool have you used to insert them?
Easy. I configured my CAPSLOCK key (which is useless IMO) to be
my X compose key. So entering COMPOSE-4-5 does ⅘, and COMPOSE-<-3
does ♥. You can even define your own compose seqs, like I did with
♀ (COMPOSE-o-+) and others.
This is documented at <https://wiki.debian.org/XCompose> by the way.
Thanks Greg, that was what I'm looking for. I chose the right Alt key as
"compose" key, in KDE it was very simple it's a checkbox to enable in
systemsettings, as explained in the link that you provided.
I read that for custom sequence I've to create a ~/.XCompose file, but
where can I find the character to map i.e. Greek letters: "α" "β" "γ" ?
In "/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose" file the ALPHA char is
defined as:
<dead_greek> <a> : "α" U03B1 # GREEK SMALL
LETTER ALPHA
What stands for <dead_greek> ? Could I have an example of custom
~/.XCompose file for this letter, please?
Thanks in advance, best regards.
