It is actually a gtk feature.
I am not aware of any plan to add it to efl.

I do that all the time already. AltGr-e gets me é and so on. This is
standard, no need to set up anything, as it's selected when I install
Xubuntu, and I maintain a keyboard map for it at
http://silmaril.ie/linux/keyboard.pdf

But in my work I often need to access many other characters from the
Unicode repertoire, and Ctrl-Shift-U  Enter is a convenient way to
do this.

No matter; it works in many other Linux applications (even Thunderbird,
where I am typing now, so if I suddenly need the alchemical 'retort'
symbol  I can just type Ctrl-Shift-U 1f76d Enter and it appears. I can
always copy and paste to Terminology.

I don't know if this is an Ubuntu thing or if it works in other distros.
If it's a widespread systems facility, maybe it might be worth enabling
it in Terminology at some future point.

nope. it doesn't. but if you have a multi/compose key set up... why not just
use compose sequences and regular input methods? compose sequences don't need
an input method. i have set capslock to be my compose key. or multi key.
enlightenment has settings for this under keyboard. then just do

multi/compose o "   ->  ö
multi/compose o /   ->  ø
multi/compose s s   ->  ß
multi/compose t h   ->  þ
multi/compose : )   ->  ☺
multi/compose t m   ->  ™

and 100's of others...

[e-users] Terminology and Unicode

2017-01-27 Thread Peter Flynn 
I am using the Terminology I compiled from github a few weeks ago.
It doesn't appear to support Ctrl-Shift-U  Enter for typing Unicode
characters as other terminal emulators under Linux do. Is this correct,
or is there a different keystroke combination needed?
