Diese Tastenkombinationen werden über XCompose realisiert. Das ist ein X11 Feature, das aber auch von Waylandprotokollimplementierungen wie Plasma/KDE umgesetzt werden wird, wenn es irgendwann dort mal Standard wird. Zumindest scheint die Gnome Shell es zu implementieren. Das Feature funktioniert über das Einlesen einer Datei, die Zeile für Zeile aus Regeln besteht, welche definieren, aus was für Zeichenkombinationen welches Zeichen generiert wird. Verwendet werden dafür X11 Keysyms, welche in den Headerdateien von xorg-proto stecken [2]. Regeln sehen ungefähr so aus: … : "LesbaresZeichen" keysym # optionaler Kommentar mit Unicodepoint Ich weiß nicht, inwiefern XCompose Dateien mit Paketen mitgeliefert werden, aber wenn Du dir das Neo2 Repository klonst [1], kannst Du dort im Verzeichnis Compose dir deine XCompose Datei aus verschiedenen Regelgruppen selbst zusammenstellen. $ cd Compose/ # $ ist Indikator für Eingabeaufforderung deines Nutzers (nicht root) $ make config $ make [1]: $ git clone https://github.com/neo-layout/neo-layout [2]: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xproto/tree/keysymdef.h Viele Grüße, Manuel ___ Diskussion mailing list -- diskussion@neo-layout.org To unsubscribe send an email to diskussion-le...@neo-layout.org

And if, how does it work? That would be dead key 1 on layer 3, AFAIK.

Since you are using Linux, the driver should be pretty much feature complete. There have been various bugs with different window managers but they mostly affected the mod keys. As I’ve said, I’ve personally never used the stuff that you are looking for and neither have I been using KDE so … good luck? :) Sprache hier ist übrigens in der Regel Deutsch.

[Neo] Key-Combo for Accents and Circuits above vowels
Hi there, what is the right key combination to type accents and those little cirquits above vowels (as seen in some scandinavian countries or in french)? I've read somewhere there is a key-combination for flipping characters, e. g. making them upside down. Is this possible? And if, how does it work? This is why I want to know: I have an external minikeyboard connected with my Notebook for making it easier to work as a handycapped man, with only one arm to enter keyboard commands. I use 'sticky keys' as an accessibility feature of KDE. For 'Hochschule' (don't know the right term in english, possibly college) neo2 comes in very useful to type all those Mathematical characters. Can you tell me about possible limitations, if any (e. g. LibreOffice, Kate, ...) or does it just have to use UTF8? -- Mit besten Grüßen Karsten Zarth HAW-Hamburg Angewandte InformatikH ___ Diskussion mailing list -- diskussion@neo-layout.org To unsubscribe send an email to diskussion-le...@neo-layout.org
