Hi :) You are right. Some people have a different view which is not entirely wrong. I think there are various agreed standards and your way fits at least one of them. Regards from Tom :)

Ctrl + c would. Remember? Compose o c ⇨ © I didn't type Compose oc or Composeoc… I am not saying that I am absolutely right here, but I think this is a good syntax: Use a space to separate key pressings, use a ”+” if several keys must be pressed at the same time (like AltGr+Shift+f or whatever). I have seen some people using a ”-” instead, which is okay for me, but I think the ”+” better describes what's going on. Well, that's my opinion anyway. Well, enough about this, I guess.
