Indeed not faster than that one. It is an alternative way, which is as fast but also possible in reverse order, which the <o> <c> is not. The compose key sequences with <0> (zero) for §, ¤ and © originate from gtk-compose-lookaside.txt which is being maintained by Simos Xenitellis. Simon, can you give additional justification for the following 12 lines: +<Multi_key> <0> <c> : "©" copyright # COPYRIGHT SIGN +<Multi_key> <0> <C> : "©" copyright # COPYRIGHT SIGN +<Multi_key> <c> <0> : "©" copyright # COPYRIGHT SIGN +<Multi_key> <C> <0> : "©" copyright # COPYRIGHT SIGN +<Multi_key> <s> <0> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN +<Multi_key> <0> <s> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN +<Multi_key> <S> <0> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN +<Multi_key> <0> <S> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN +<Multi_key> <0> <X> : "¤" currency # CURRENCY SIGN +<Multi_key> <X> <0> : "¤" currency # CURRENCY SIGN +<Multi_key> <0> <x> : "¤" currency # CURRENCY SIGN +<Multi_key> <x> <0> : "¤" currency # CURRENCY SIGN Or are you willing to drop them from gtk-compose-lookaside.txt? Note that §, ¤ and © already have enough exiting compose key sequences and the ones under consideration are not the most obvious sequences for these characters. In case of dropping them from gtk-compose-lookaside.txt they will also be dropped from my X-GTK-consolidation patch. Regards, Pander PS I have made a simple Python script that used while preparing the patch for finding inconsistencies in Compose.pre. You can find it here http://pastebin.com/5nzQK8n4 and you will see the number of warnings and errors drop by applying the patch. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
