Public bug reported:
According to manual https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey it is possible to define
sequences to type characters and strings with Compose key.
In Ubuntu 18.04 sequences work for characters but not for strings, line like
this:
<Multi_key> <b> <t> <w> : "by the way" # Compose b t w
seems to be ignored.
